85 MPH vs. 140 MPH

When swapping speedometers do you have to change the little meshed gear inside the transmission tail housing if you go from an 85 mph to 140 mph. I just put in a new Tranny and had to change it since the 700 R4 was out of a caprice with a diff. trans. but now I want the bigger speedo since I bury the 85 twice a day. thanx.

I didn't have any trouble with it, I swapped the entire speedo and it reads perfect. This is an a camaro, but should be the same with a firebird
