I did a quick Google search. I only found instructions for an "electronic speedometer". I did not see an instruction for a "mechanical speedometer".

There are instructions on how to calibrate the electronic versions. They use a common "sender" at the tranny.

I hate to ask, but do you have an "electronic speedo"?
Yes I have the mechanical gauge. I wish it was the electric, as it seems to be very adjustable.

After my last post yesterday, I was able to trace VDO back to Siemans, as the parent company. Siemans is a large european compay that sells drives, programable logic controller, and much more in industry, but I digress. Anyway I cannot find a gauge that looks like my speedometer, so I suspect it is no longer made. In reading their technical literature on current mechanical speedos it looks like the only calibration correction option is changing the gear.
