23 tooth speedo gear

[azaizai]

Hey there!

I've got a 1997 4.0 v6 5spd 4wd Ranger. If I'm reading this correctly that means I have a M5OD transmission.

I'm wanting to get a 23 tooth speedo gear...but summit has 3 available (for Fords).

Any help? Thanks!

you actually have a speedometer gear?

1995-up rangers have ELECTRONIC speedometers....

well, at the end of the transfer case there was a cable/wire and a housing. I took the one bolt off and pulled it out and there was a lil white gear in there. Looked just like my buddy's 94 explorer...

Could it be that it converts a mechanical to an electronic?

Of course you're AllanD...you know all. Good thing I already ordered the gear :/

Just for a lil followup.

got the speedo gear today and installed it...quick test down the street with the pup and everythings working fine! Hell, if anything it might be too slow...or the truck is

This was the gear that worked for my truck.
