View Full Version : Cable-X calibration question: T56 "gear" teeth?

Okay, I'm ready to set up my Abbott Cable-X but I'm a bit confused about something.

The formula to set the dip switches is as follows:
Transmission gear (#of teeth) X axle ratio X tire revs/mile = pulses per mile

The pulse per mile is compared to a chart and the switches are set accordingly...

My question is: Since the T56 has a VSS instead of a standard speedo gear, what number do I use for # of gear teeth? From my research I learned that the T56 has a 40 tooth reluctor wheel (40 pulses per driveshaft rotation). Would that be the number I use?

40 X 3.45 X 734 = 101,292

Would this be right? What have others used to calibrate their Cable-X?

Thanks.

Sorry I can't help.

But can you give me product and pricing info on this unit. I priced one out awhile back, not sure if it's from the same company though. I think it was around $300.

Sounds about right. I bout it a long time ago. I'd have to go dig up the receipt.

FYI, I called Abbott and they said it is 40 teeth.
