I have a no numbers matching 1966 Mustang, 2+2, 289 ci., 4 speed manual transmission with reverse to the left and up. The speedometer cable installs to the RH (passengers) side of the transmission. Is there something I can get or do to get the speedometer to work properly, and not run backwards?

It's also possible the 4-speed you have came out of a different Ford vehicle. Also I don't think the angle cut teeth on the trans gear will matter.:scratchchin( see below)There were some Fairlanes with the speedo cable on the opposite side. My brother had one in his 69 Mach . It was like Christine! He switched tailshaft housings to solve the problem.

Say the slanted lines are your teeth. Turn them around 180 degrees and they still face the same direction.:headscratch: Of course they were lined up when I typed this.
