Speedo Running At Twice Actual Speed

[T0nyGTSt]

Guy here reckons that dropping a resistor in to cut the speed in half is they way to go.

Is that ok?

Does it affect the auto box at all?

I don't mind a quick and dodgy fix like that but if it affects the gearbox I'd like a better solution.

btw. top speed of the car is now 90km/h!

a dropping resistor will fix it, but u need the right value resistor. get a 10k potentimeter and start from there, adjust it, drive it, adjust it... drive behind someone you know that is doing a paticular speed, and adjust it til you get the speed correct. then take to potentimeter out, measure the resistance (ohms) of it and get a fixed value resistor at that value.

hope that is understandable... cheers

apparently I have the manual speedo in an auto car!

hmm... lemme see what I can do here...
