that IS weird, because when i had the original tranny in my car (3.67 final
drive), the speed was, of course, correct (4000 @ 80mph).  when i put the 2H
in it (3.94), i STILL saw 4000 @ 80mph, BUT, i wasn't actually travelling
80mph anymore.  the speedo thought i was because i didn't swap in the white
gear, so it said 80mph when i was actually doing about 74.  after i swapped
speedo cable gears, i saw the correct speed (4300 @ 80mph).
