Default Digital dash

Hello everyone.
I had my 84 dash rebuilt and when I installed the rebuilt dash I found my speedometer is not registering the proper speed. Such as when traveling 55 mph it registers 35 mph.

Does anyone have a solution?
Thanks

If it worked properly before you had it repaired, then contact the company that repaired it and explain your problem. The speedometer receives pulses from a unit on the transmission and I think it very unlikely that it suddenly puts out about 1/2 the pulses.

I tried to contact the shop but had no luck without taking the dash out (again) and sending oof with more money.

I thought maybe someone had this problem before and I could learn from it. I have heard of the speedometer needing calibrated.

Also, where can I find a new odemeter?

I don't think you can get a new odometer, if I remember correctly they take it off the unit you send in and put it on a rebuilt one.
