    Ve Speedo diff gears

    Hi everyone, I just changed diff gears in my VE Ute, It had 2.94s and i put 3.27s. Just wondering if anyone knows if the speedo needs to be recalibrated. I’ve been told that the speed sensor is in the trans so im assuming it needs to be. If it does, does anyone know anyone in Melb that can do it?

    So I’ve seen a lot of post about the speedo not working at all. But the problem with my VS wagon is everything works. It just doesn’t go past 80km sometimes.

    [WA] VZ SS Speedo Calibration

    Recently bought my first commodore (VZ SS) and the first thing that I noticed was the speedo is reading about 80% of the real time speed. The car is on newish wheels and recently had its diff replaced (not sure what ratio, was done by previous owner), so no doubt that would explain for the...
