Having just converted my sons 1978 GLS to a manual from auto he now requires an 18t (Red) speedo drive gear to suit the old auto 4.11:1 diff.
If you have an extra one please let me know or if you know where I can source one new.

Thanks

PS: Also loooking for manual gearstick surround plate that screws to floor

I've never heard of an auto with a 4.11:1 diff.
A 1978 GLS would normally have a 3.89:1 or even a 3.70:1 diff.
Auto Avengers are high revving - fitting 175/80-13 tyres helps enormously - see my comments on wheels and tyres in the technical section.
BTW I have a manual gear lever plate you can have for free!

yep the thing was screaming on the way home! Been a long time since I had driven an old school pommy car. Smiled all the way home though!
I appreciate the offer of the plate, I'll flick you a pm with address etc. Is one of the few remaining trim/superficial things left to tidy up before we head for wof.

Thanks
