well... you actually might be able to change the driven gear...
pull the speedo housing.. pull the gear off... there is a little clip...
put the housing back in.... to keep dirt out.. and allow you to drive the car if its your only one..
stop by the transmission parts supplier.. after you count the teeth.. sometimes speedo shops will have various driven gears...
usually ratio changes require both gears to be changes to maintain some kind of contact.. but you have not changed a lot..
the drive gear basic part number is 17271
look it up for this application
97 mustang 4.6L; 3.08 rear axle - auto - P225/55ZR16, P245/45ZR17; Driven gear
the drive gear on the output shaft is the hard one to change...
basic part number 17285 Speedometer Drive Gear
you might be able to just swap the driven gear..

if yours is yellow.... buy the black one.. but you might also want to spend the few extra bucks and pick up the red one also.. incase you have changed tire diameters

My Mustang had the yellow gear. I ordered a black 20T. Will it work with the gear drive I already have or will I have to change it also?

yes.. it should fit.. without changing the drive gear on the output shaft..
probably why the electronic ratio device is available.. as thats easier to change a few switches than it is to tear the transmission apart or changing the speedo gear sets. as you just cannot get there easily with some gear ratios and tire sizes..
have you seen the steam roller tires some people put on them.. 20" 22" 24" just wait till they hear that you can get a few widths in 27" rims..
at least when you have a flat with those.. all you need it to find your mail man and ask for his pocket full of rubber bands to stretch some new rubber on the rim. .

Thank you for your HELP! I'm a firm believer in stock wheels. Aftermarket wheels are OK. But there's nothing like a stock wheel. You can go up a size and it changes very little, but when you get up into the twenties, then is when you start having problems!! Thank you again and everyone have a Happy 4th.

I thought I would let you no .I had the speedometer calculated by a State Trooper. It was right on the money. I couldn't ask for any better! Thank you !
