4.11 gears / speedometer
I have a 1998 coupe with the stock 3.42 gears. I want to go to 4.11. Can someone explain to me (in simple terms, please) How the car knows how fast it's going without changing sensors/modules/sending units? Thanks :steering:

Re: 4.11 gears / speedometer (vette#one)
The sensor is not on the transmission, and gears do not affect the reading, my guess is that its on the rear axle or at on of the wheels. Not sure about that though.

The speed sensor works off the ring gear which the diameter is not changed. :seeya

Thanks, I guess it can't get any simplier than that. Although I live in NY, next time I'm in your neighborhood, mind if I drop in?
