[Roadsters] intro + speedometer question

[Charles Kyle]

Good morning,

 I know nothing about the A14+Auto, BUT I converted my 1600 from a 4 spd to a 5 spd and had the same issue, almost the same speed difference.  I had used the wrong transmission gear (16 tooth), after a swap, the speedometer read a lot closer to truth.

PS Congrats on the "new" ride.
