  • Speedo gear swap question??

    Does anyone know if the speedo gear in a 4 speed manual will work in a 5 speed? Just for clarification I am referring to the one in the transmission, not the one connected to the cable. Thanks, Robert

    I have been assured for quite some time that the tranny speedo gear of an ATX, 4 or 5 speed Festy, plus that of a MTX Aspire, are one and the same. ATX Aspire is not, and I can confirm that. I personally did a Festy ATX to MTX speedo gear swap a few years ago without any problem.

      Bert,
      Your refering to the one attached to the differential not the speedo cable, correct.

        Correct: this would be the gizmo with the nylon gear wheel that fits into the tranny. Just so you know the ATX Aspire item is about 3/8 longer than all the others.
