Yes, I know I tightened the bolt at first. It helps to be sneaky sometimes ;)

I have a 2001 Jeep XJ that has 3:55 gear ratio with 33in tires and needed a new gear, however the actual location to line up the numbers is on the bottom in the 6 I clock position not on the top like he says in the video. You will see a small bump in the 6o clock position where you line the numbers up then turn a little towards the 5 o clock position for the pin to hold the sensor in place and it worked perfectly. I followed the video and ended up with a non working speedometer.
Nice Video, However, I think you got where the numbers line up completely wrong. Gear numbers on housing that correspond to the gear you just put in should be facing the 6PM position. Once placed back in housing turn a tad back to 5pm position to seat completely. Dude, I do not think you speedo gears would even touch inside the way you installed it. . Way to be super cool in vid though...
Be sure to line up the appropriate numbers with the raised 'dot' on the transfer case on the bottom. Be careful not to do it like it's first described - *NOT with the numbers between the fork.
Agreed thats how its suppose to be for 97 ram 1500 but it is a different vehicle then this video
What raised dot?
Awesome, was wondering why my speedo wasn't working after rebuilding the transfer case when it worked before and I see now that they're clocked. Great video thanks bud
This was great but the part where you align your numbers was wrong, as least for me and my '97 wrangler. There is a little dot at the bottom of your transfer case where you line up your number with, not centered withe the bracket, it actually works out to be the bottom hook part where you will line up the numbers. Otherwise you gears will not engage and your speedometer will be zero like mine. I thought I must have broke the sensor so I bought a new one and spliced it in, and that didn't fix it. It was just not lined up correctly. Once I did that, it worked perfectly. Save yourself the grief and money and just line it up right. My sensor was just fine :(
I have been fighting the speedometer thing since December when I had transmission rebuilt. Replaced both speed sensors and still didn't work. I spun the gear and my speedometer turned. Hoping this fix you talked about fixes my speedometer. Thank you so much for your comment.
Thankyou you saved my day
I had no idea you had to time it !
Well done and may God bless you \ Your brother Mr. Hamid Al-Faham from Iraq
when the democrats pass their mileage tax, all you have to do is remove that gear and you'll be home free.
He tell you to orient the new gear incorrectly. I just marked a brand new speedo gear because I took his word for it. Dont install the gear the way he says to.
Nice video I am running 4.88 gears with 40 inch tires what gearing to I need to make my speed right?
that XJ looks awesome, one day I'll reach your level one project at a time, gonna put a Dana70 in my XJ this summer(overkill but I got it for free :D)
thanks! and i'm jealous of free axles!
Free axles are the best, especially when there full-float axles. Hopefully I will see you on the trails one day. AZ wheeling

Thank you I just needed to know where that plug was to kill the speedometer
Thank you very much for the video. Entirely helpful!
Chrysler recommends petroleum jelly for lubrication when replacing seals on transfer case , $.02
petrolium based lubes can and will degrade rubber over time
Great video, great personality!
Anyone wondering about the gear numbers, bump, and 6 o clock position relevance. I looked in my manual and couldn't find anything except changing speedo cable in the index. Didn't delve through every section so if y'all know where it is let me know.
Anyways I've heard 6 or 5 o clock position for the numbers unlike what the video shows you, but what I've seen is start at 6 o'clock and rotate towards 5 o'clock. Best to leave old o ring on and try it first. If wrong it won't go in as easy. Once you got it figured pop it out and put new oring on and put it back in.
There are slots for the bracket claws to dig into so get it to the position and make sure all of that lines up and good to go.
Ayy thanks for the vid. Does that speedo-gear fit in there pretty tight? Mine seems to be loose. And my speedo has been all over the place and is causing my transmission to act up. No joke, I have reason to believe it will mess with the transmission shifting properly
What cause ur speedometer and odometer not to work after sye Install
Nice! I always thought this was a big job.
I saw the video how do you remove the mounting bolt for the speed sensor
Thanks man great video
Thank you so much this solved my problem
Glad to hear it!
I do have a 98 grand cherokee with a 4x4 swap from a 95 i have a check engine light on code come back speed sensor A where would that be? Woul love a lil help
Hi. I followed your instructions and now my speedometer doesn’t work with new or old gear. Was I supposed to disconnect the battery first?
I'm having the same issue, did you ever get this fixed, and if so how if I may ask.
You need to line up the numbers with the bottom fork prong, not in the middle of the bracket.
Your right, I just had the same problem as John H. Thank God you responded that the video is screwed up and that the numbers have to be at the bottom of the fork prong. Speedometer works fine now. Thanks Vujak
vujak Thank you for the correction! This worked for me after it not working.
Saved another! My wasn’t working and I got worried. Luckily I saw your comment. Thanks
You know those crimp clamps on your boot covering the yoke? Those are discontinued lol. I spent days looking for those before I just made my own.
Sensor was not all the way in....you can still see the oring outside, I believed the speedo gears are not engage ,correct me if Im wrong. thanks
why in the hell is this not in the haynes manual? i just replaced mine today without knowing about the marks on the sensor. luckily i wasn't off by much
I like that smooth transition of fast forward, seamlessly, saving time, much as I like my powerful ole Jeep.
The housing where the bolt is, broke. Spilled fluid everywhere. I cant find any replacement housings for sale. Know where?
Thank you. 4.88 with 35s. Put in an SYE and couldn't get my new 39 tooth gear in. DONE.
Thank you.
Hello, I have a serious problem with my vehicle. I own Mahindra thar crde 4x4 2013 model. Very often I observe the speedometer gear is getting damaged (especially when I hit a pothole). This is my 5th time I am replacing the gear. It’s 17 teeth model. I really don’t understand the root cause. I would be very grateful to you if you have an answer for this. Thanks in advance
How do you like the 4:88 with 35s
I like it a lot. It's not my daily anymore so it doesn't see a lot of highway miles but when it was it did well. I'm glad I went for the 4.88s over 4.56
@@AdmiralOffRoad awesome. I’m breaking a set of 4:88 in right now on my XJ. I’m at 200 miles of break in miles so I have taken it past 60mph. How did your do on the interstate highways at 65-80ish RPM wise
I was change parts like in the video but still not working, what i have to do? If speedometer dont work how to fix it?
You might want to correct your post. Lining it up with the middle in not correct
Thank for the info o did now about the gear but yous miss the part that have position , but thanks just fix my spedometer my see you some.day in the decert in AZ.
Get hooked on phonics please.
hi, do you know how many teeth speedometer gear if a have 4.56 gears and 33 inch tires for a 231 transfer case thanks

why did you change it? was the speedometer dead? what about your RPM meter? my speedometer dropped dead all of a sudden but TAC/RPM meter is good. Code reader produces nothing - no error code. It points to a mechanical problem. So, I am guessing my gear drive speedometer is broken.
have you considered checking the cable at the back of the cluster? or replacing it entirely?
I changed it because when I changed tire size and gear ratio, the speedometer was not reading the correct speed
Thanks brother. 👍
so I have a 99 Jeep Cherokee with the 242 transfer case everywhere I've called around says I would probably have to get a computer tune and they can't find a gear for that transfer case ugh
no computer tune necessary
Go on quadratec website. They have all the speedo gears you need
You're doing it wrong. No need to disconnect the electrical, the index numbers point to 6 o'clock (i.e. down), and you're supposed to lubricate the new gear with ATF too.
Don't line it up like he says, it is wrong. Where do I send the bill to for replacing my speedometer gear because I took his word for it?
Please fix my speedometer! It won't move at all 😪
Curious on why you omitted how to determine the new tooth number in relation to tire size / gear ratio. Thanks for the very good footage on how to replace.
there are so many combinations that it would take up too much of the video, but i did put a link to a chart in the description.
Missed that link. Thanks!
Because you can easily Google that. It's one of the things you should know before even getting to this point. Maybe go find a speedo gear identification video and not the changing out procedure

This was helpful but you are lining up the numbers wrong. They need to point down.
False...gear range you want needs to be pointed towards the ground as much as you can.
How did you calculate the ratio to use?
Numerous speedo gear charts online.
Martinbilt shows the correct orientation. This video needs to be deleted.
