Probably the wrong gear at the speedometer cable end where it attaches to the transmission.

Do you have the old transmission? Get the gear from it. Summit Racing can sell you another one.

Yes, thank you. After doing a little research I am finding that there is a complicated formula on figuring out what combination of gears will fix the problem. The only thing I don't know is how many threads are on the drive gear in the transmission. I guess I have to remove the tail shaft to find that out??
