Solution: Speedo calibration, details inside Options

[snapshotgt]

It looks like my speedo is reading on the high side. I am using the e153 tranny out of a 99 Solara. I also have bilstein struts, tein springs and 7th gen GTS wheels with 205/50/16 tires.

Four sources of evidence of possibly reading high:

1.) GPS is reading ~10mph slower

2.) OBDII reader from the solara is reading ~5mph slower

3.) I can be crawling at a snails pace and it reads obviously high

4.) When slowing down to a stop, needle can make un-flowing drops down in speed, does not look very accurate.



Please post your thoughts and suggestions. I'm looking to fix this and get it as accurate as possible. Anyone running with a e153 tranny swap please post your experience. Thanks-

Thanks for the post corey - i see i'm not alone.

Isn't there some type of electronic gadget i can buy for about $50-$100 that fixes it? I remember reading a post a LONG time ago about that... ?

Many people have also said just take the needle off (VERY CAREFULLY) and put it back on correctly... ?! I've got an extra cluster so i could practice.

i dont think moving will do any good but if you have to remove needles to work on cluster use two spoons one either side and prize up gently it will pop out without bending/breakig anything
