No, the speedo has to be calibrated to whatever rear end is in the car,
has nothing to do with the tranny. On the back of the speedo will be a
sticker that will say k=xxxx, like k=1255, that is the rear end that
that particular speedo is calibrated for.

When they convert a euro car to US, its very likely when they replaced
the speedo its not matched to the rear end. Almost EVERY euro I have
seen the speedo does not read correct.

I still believe the error is in the drive gear at the tranny not the
instrument. Almost all mechanically driven speedos compensate for
different rear-end ratios with different drive gears run off the
output shaft.
