Thanks for the info guys. I'm beginning to believe everything about a Ferrari is about 10% off. That's what makes them so great. :-)

Craig, about 10% off is the norm. The only way to calibrate it is to send the speedo itself off to a repair center like Palo Alto. The sender is on the passenger side of the trans. You need to use a deep socket as to not damage the wire lead. I took a short socket and cut a small piece out of the side of it for the wire to stick out. And I would recommend replacing the seal ring too.

Craig,
there is slight tolerances in the readins.

Philip,
if you stand behind the engine looking in on your left hand side you will se a small wire coming from the gearbox. Towards the bottom, this is where the whole thing starts. I presume the sending unit sits in there. Hard to get to.

I've wondered about this process too. Is this to fix the speedo measuring the wrong speed?

I did some testing the other day while out on the interstate. When the speedo says I'm doing 80MPH I was really doing around 74MPH. I would like to fix this if possible. I assume this incorrect speed effects the actual mileage.
