Me-and-my-metro might be right; I don't know what a tone gear is. But I think you might need to adjust the speedometer and odometer signal after your swap. There are aftermarket products that can adust the voltage from the VSS so that the ECU gets what it is programed for. But before buying anything, get a good, free GPS app onto your smartphone and compare dash indicated speed with the GPS. You'll know if the two are off. Then, compare the dash indicated distance with the GPS over as significantly longish stretch of driving. I use a 100 mile ride out to the desert.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
