Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Speedometer gear

[LittleSmoker]

I am changing gear ratios from 3:54 to 4:10, and I was advised to change my speedometer gear from a 31-tooth to a 37-tooth. I went to my local Dodge dealer to get a 37-tooth gear and they quoted me $87 for the plastic gear. Does anybody know of a more reasonably priced source for a 37-tooth speedometer gear?

I think they are too lazy to find just the gear and quoted you the price of the entire sender. Try these guys and be sure to specify "internet parts" or they will give you the regular Dodge parts counter price.

I use the same source Gary suggested above. The company is MOPAR4LESS in Farmington, NM. They do a high volume business in MOPAR parts online. I use a young woman there named "K" who is always helpful, always accurate, and gives me great discounts.

I have never met her in person, have no connection to K or the company but have used them for years and appreciate the excellent service and prices they offfer.

Thanks to both Gary and Harvey. I'm glad to find this source. I was unaware of this on-line store. Glad to have another place to go.

I didn't think you could change a gear in the 47re. I was told it was controlled electronically by the ab sensor. I got a superlift truspeed module to control mine and it works very well. But definitely more expensive than you were talking about

You have a 98, the OP has a 96. 97 and earlier speed sensor on a 4X4 is on the transfer case.

I learn something every day. Wish I could have just changed a gear. What year did the ABS sensor start controlling the speedometer?

Sorry, I read your post again and realized you said 97 amp earlier used a gear
