speedo help please

[new2xj]

I have changed the Aw and NP out of a 89 xj cable speedo and put it in my 95 xj electric speedo what do I need to do to get my speedo to work thanks

You need to pull the speedo sending unit out of the 95 TC and put it in the 89 TC.
The whole unit-sender and gear,heck even swap the hold down fork, line up the correct notch and all should be good.

Thanks for your reply I wish it were that easy as that is what I did but it seems that the gear assembly is to short and the gear teeth will not mesh nor will the housing go in far enough to seal I thought maybe there was a difference in the housing and gear assembly between the cable set up and the electronic but I don't have the old unit to compare the two I know I am a newbie but this should be simple LOL :helpme:

There is a difference between the two---you need to use whatever sender and gear that work with the speedo you have==89 -mech speedo,95 electronic.
AFAIK- the extension housings are the same.
Did the same swap on my(sons)87-- Just turn the housing until the gears mesh.
If you didn,t re-gear the tooth count will be the same.
