Speedometer Out of Whack! 200 1981

posted by  someone claiming to be Train on  Wed Nov 22 02:51 CST 2000 [RELATED]

I have a 1981 Volvo 245 GLT with 450 K+ miles.. but I am

having a problem. Recently, I lost my overdrive(OD)it died and replaced it

with a unit from a later model. However, now, my speed is being inflated as

I drive, e.g. 65 MPH is really 57 MPH and so on... Check with the guys at

the Volvo to ensure that I had the OD right gear to match up with my rear end gear. It is all correct.

Any suggestions? It is not only inflating my speed but also my miles.
