Theo,
I agree with the second statement, however this transmission
came with a speedometer gear that is completely different from the
original tiger gear. The teeth are reversed and if I recall there
are about 22 teeth, My Tiger II had 17 teeth. The drive comes off the
bottom of the tail shaft while the Tiger came off the top of the tail
shaft. Driving up HY 95 on the way to the TE/AE/All British meet,
I was followed by Rob in his mustang. I was setting on 70 and
he said I was around 75 to 79 most of the time. My wife also
followed me in a Chev. I was setting on 60 ( in a heavy rain)
and she said I was going around 68 mph.
So I do need to calibrate my speedometer.
