Default 30-90 something speedo fail

Thought i would take advantage of the cool weather outside and post up a new speedo clip... but my truck likes to be a piece of . When the speedo started to mess up it just revved really fast and i let off... sounded like it was trying to downshift or something. At least it was running good when it was going... compared to my other clip i took in the heat it seems a bit faster. It was 60* outside when i took this

Here is the clip




The driveshaft i have in my truck is about 1.5 inches to short and makes the speed sensor mess up about half the time i get on to it.... probably need to fix that lol. Or maybe its my "built" transmission

Here is the driveshaft


Im just going to get a stock one from a junk yard and freshen it up... im not going to be trapping 120 in the 1/4

speed sensor is in the trans and works off of the out put shaft . . .

Say thanks to Zzebes for giving the wrong measurements to the drive shaft guy. It was a time when i had no time to go to the driveshaft shop so he offered to help.

To bad its been almost 2 1/2 years since its been put in so i can't go back and get it fixed.
