I don’t think so. Same supplier that gave me the 20 tooth gear when I swapped 3.55s gave me the 23 tooth for 4.10s. I have the 6 tooth drive gear. Both descriptions stated for manual transmission.

Yeah, not for me, 45 minutes later with enough cuss words for the wife to come out and say to stop cussing so much (first time that’s happened actually) and I never got it, so I made it work my way. Did you put the cable in first and then push the clip through or did you have the clip in place and it pushed through it?

Thats my guess. The speedometer cable end isn’t seated in the sensor which is why it won’t go in far enough.
