Have the v6 with the t5 instaled but forgot to count the teeth on the speedo drive gear. Pulling the engine and trans is out of the question at this point. Was wondering if a mirror and someway marking one of the teeth then counting the teeth as someone slowly turns one of the wheels untill I get a full revolution. The real question is what to use to mark the gear tooth?? Earl blu oval

Do you know what year your T5 is? Mine is a 1996 and I think the chances are good that it is a 7 tooth drive gear, the color of it will give you some indication as well. Mine was yellowish brown, and it was a 7 tooth. I did count mine with a mirror and a flash light, whether 6 or 7 tooth was hard to tell, that is why I think the color comes into play.

Color is the key on the gear! If you want to count the teeth you could use a touch of white out works well!
