Speedo Gear

[98XJSport]

Is the dealership the only place to get larger speedo gears? Going to 4.88s and 35s, need a 39 tooth.

just put the p/n's into google and you'll find more places that sell them as well.

jr is right. just pay attention to the orientation of the gear as you put it in there are 3 ways it can set and it depends on the # of teeth. I cant remember which one is which but Im sure it is posted somewhere also make sure the o-ring is in good shape otherwise your t-case will slowly bleed to death. I did 35's withh 4.88 and a 39 thooth gear and cross checked the readings with a gps and they are right on the money.

I was about to ask a question about this....good timing. What is the stock speedo gear tooth count, I have a '98? I have 4.88's and 33's, and can figure what gear I need but forgot what the stock tooth count is.

My 99 with an auto and 3.55 gears came with a 34 tooth speedo gear.

Might be a dumb question, but whats the difference from short and long shaft (speedo gear, for the sick minded)?

 

[98XJSport]

One is long and one is short? :dunno:

Well to quote gojeeps website, which has a great writeup and tons of info:

"For those that have the electronic Speedo there are two shaft lengths. A long shaft ( 4.3" ) from 1991-1993 and a short shaft ( 2.2" ) from 1993-2001 for XJ and to 2006 TJ. If you have a cable rather than wires coming out of the transfer case, another long shaft ( 4.3" ) is needed for the 1987-1990 years."

I've always just bought them at the dealership, but I'll check out Parts Mike.

There was some discussion that the dealerships recently raised the prices significantly. It used to cost $12, now they go for somehwere around $75 (I think).
