The replacement odo part was marked as "123 *****" but I have had it sitting around for a few years, dont know if it was out of 240 or 300, auto or manual. Dont know diff ratio.
How is speedo/odo compensated for (gear ratios), a gear in the trans or in the odo unit?

Everything works, just 'off', , ,

Get the right gears. You'll have to count the teeth on the existing gear and order according to that. The following is the cheapest I've found and these guy have an excellent product.
