Thanks for the link, anyway what you mean is the speedo I'm using is a proton but because the speedo linkage from the g/b is from mitsu it's a mismatch?

i'm suspecting the teeth of the speedometer drive gear (if your current teeth is below 29) is not match with the proton speedometer..the speedometer works by counting on the revolution of the speedometer drive gear..smaller gear revolve much faster compare to bigger gear..if i'm no mistaken standard proton speedometer drive gear is 31 teeth..before that, please check ur speedometer cable and speedometer panel condition first..

of coz most pomen can do ..bcoz its only simple maintenance work..my cable putus that time then change to new one...i notice my speedo give me wrong info when i drive from kl to penang..usually i'll do 2hr 30 min at 160kmh..then suddenly 2hr kl-pg also at 160kmh..so i'm guessing the actual speed was 180kmh or maybe more..

Ok I'm not a fan of DIY but will scout around. KL-Pg 2 hours? toll to toll? yup should be about 170-180

 

[EGNINE]

yup tot to tol...

the teeth you mean is it at the gearbox??? if i'm using auto meter from 4g91 with manual gearbox from 4g92 will this also effect the reading
