[QUOTE="Todd Z, post: 752534, member: 58941"] Actually the ring gear is going the same speed, it is attached to the axles through the carrier housing... DID you speed up your axles, answer is NO..... You speeded up your pinion gear which is bolted to the drive shaft....The drive shaft will turn faster thus turning the transmission and engine faster.... So the speedometer will read the same as long as you don't change the tire size,, and the engine RPM will be higher... BUT you should change it in the computer via a Xcal just to make sure all the computers air fuel and transmission stuff works properly..... From my research on the ST the VSS is read off the rear end housing.... IT is part of the ABS sensor..... Todd Z [/QUOTE]
