Don't think so.

Buy yourself a workshop manual. The procedure is covered in there.

the only gear u need to change is the green gear from your speedo sender unit and refit the black gear, think it has an 8mm headed bolt holding it to the side of the gearbox, usually has red cover over the wiring

benj may know for sure but u already have a police cluster so it may not need it done.

OK.

To change it in the car is a PITA!

You need to get a jack and put it under the back of the transmission. Then undo the two bolts holding the transmission crossmember to the car, then lower the jack down as far as possible. The Speedo Sender is located on the top right of the BTR. It is held in by an 8mm? might be 10mm bold with a long shaft. You have to do most of this by feel, but when the bolt is out, you can then remove the speedo sender unit.

The gear is held on to the sender unit with a circlip, which you need to remove to swap out the gear. Then put it all back together again.

Have fun.

BenJ

i changed mine the other week when i went from 3.08 diff to 3.23, no need to touch the crossmember, my sender came out easy, took ten mins all up including jacking it up and putting an axle stand under the chassis, changing it over and then packing up

I drove the Passenger Side of the Car up on a gutter and slid under to change the speedo gear - yes its a PITA but was do-able - who needs jacks and jack stands lol

um just wondering, I recently changed my car to a manual. It has the 3.08 diff in it with the standard wheels. But i noticed in the list, there is not this one mentioned. My speedo is out of calibration and ranges from from being 1k out (at low speeds) to being about 6k out at 100. What do i need to change to fix this?

Thanks

3.08 ratio uses a 20 tooth gear on the speedo drive..

A Police Cluster and a few driven gears should fix you up also.

I have a few clusters avaliable.

But as the speed difference varies with speed, how would a police cluster work? I have a feeling that this box came out of a EA. Would this effect things?

the box wont make a difference, but if it still has the ea speedo gear it will be a 19 tooth for 2.92..
