I just brought a VH that has been done up to look like a VK and they put the VK speedo in it and when i am going 100km it shows 75km on the speedo? do they have different gearing in the speedo? is there anything i can do to fix it?
Cheers Justin

very easy its just a matter of finding the right gear for the bottom of your speedo cable if you go to a speedo specialist they should be able to work out the right one or go to the wreckers grab as many different colours as you can get (different colours

If you let us know what ratio diff, what size wheels and tyres, whether it is a 6 or V8 and what transmission you are running, someone will be able to tell you which driven gear to use on the end of your speedo cable.

what g/box did the vk have. As only the 5l had aussie 4 speed. all the 6cyl had the toque master 4 and 5 speeds. i ask this as if its only the speedo thats been changed then the existing gearing should be ok. i would think that something in the drive line

Hi Guys.
The Torquemaster is only a 4-speed box, the 5-speed in the VH/VK was a Borg-Warner. Also I have come across quite a few Aussie 4-speeds behind 6 cyls in VK, maybe it was a 'special order' option.

If at first you don't succeed, just call it Version 1.0 |

Its a 202 and the guy told me it had a M21 but i recon its only a M20 because the first gear isnt very long but not sure. um the diff is still standard i think.
i will try the cogs like charles said and go from there.
cheers Justin
