What speedometer gear do I need with a T-5, 8.8 inch rear and 3.73 gears? I think it's the 21 tooth red one. Is this correct? Thanks!

I know it is red. But I can't remember how many teeth. I called Summit Racing and they were able to tell me the Ford number If I remember right, then I called the local Ford dealer and had them get me one. Nick8.54 @ 159 mph on a 275 drag radial

red gear
I had my speedo off when had gotten gears. I have a extra 22tooth red gear that ya can have fo FREE. I put in a purple 21tooth and I only have 3:27's in the rear 8.8 rear end. Im guessing that ya will need a 22 tooth from what i undstand. Its only $7 from Apple Valley ford! I'll have too look in the garage tomarrow and see If ts still whereI left it.Ride:

You need the white 23 tooth speedo driven gear, assuming you still have the stock '93 transmission with the 8 tooth drive gear. Your speedometer will still read a little bit high, but with that's a close as you can get (no 24 tooth gears). Also, the 23 tooth wear out very quick.
If you want to have it right on, you have to change to a 7 tooth drive gear like '83-'89 T5s and use a 21 tooth red gear.Comment

I think I'll have to get a 7 tooth drive gear. Thanks.

The only catch with the drive gear is it's harder to replace. You have to remove the tailshaft housing from the tranny to access it. Supposedly it can be done without removing the tranny from the vehicle.Comment

Fuck that. Maybe I'll just leave it the way it is, with the speedometer needle bouncing and the speedometer incorrect. Is this something a dealer could fix? Or wouldn't they want to fuck with it since it's not factory?

A 23 tooth gear that will wear out? No thanks. I'm doing it right or not at all. I'm about a month away from driving this fucking Cobra off a cliff.

Manual Transmission with 7 tooth drive gear
83-89 V-8, 96-98 Cobra 5-speed, Tremec TR-3550 & TKO
2.73 16 tooth maroon
3.08 18 tooth yellow
3.27 19 tooth pink
3.55 20 tooth black
3.73 21 tooth red
4.10 23 tooth white
manual transmission with 8 tooth drive gear
90-98 5-Speed except 96-98 cobra
2.73 18 tooth yellow
3.08 20 tooth black
3.27 21 tooth red
3.55 23 tooth white
3.73 23 tooth white
It all depends on what tooth your internal drive gear is.
I would assume a 93 Cobra would fall under the 8 tooth drive gear, my resources say nothing about a cobra under a 96 model year
Hope it helps all who are wonderingComment
