L series speedo drives

Post by DJZ »

Hey, I'm after 3.7 & 3.9 L series speedo drives out of the gearbox if anybody has some spares? I think one has a white gear and one is blue.

Thanks!

Im pretty sure that the 3.9 or 3.7 is a yellow gear and the 4.1 is a red gear off the top of my head. I can prob do a yellow one im really sure it one of thoes to anyway.

Some where on the net there is a list of all the corresponding gears to diff ratios i used to have it but lost it if anyone has it id love to get hold of it again.

Cheers for that mate. Very strange though as the speedo gears i have lots of are from 1600 or 160J 4 speeds which are a 3.9 ratio and they are all yellow.

I have a couple of white ones (kinda thought they were yellow but then found a yellower one again) 1 white one has 19t one has 15T the yellow has 16t so that corresponds to the colour chat. I thought i had double ups as they were the same colours but they arn't so i may not be able to help you as i will be needing at least 1 of each ratio to get my speedo correct when i decided what ratio im after. I do have more at my parents place but won't be heading there till xmas.
I thought that these would still be available new from nissan?
