I don't think you need to worry. I had a 91 Buick Estate Wagon with a 2004R transmission and a bad speedo gear. The speedo would jump and bounce until I replaced the speedo gear with one I got from a junkyard out of a sedan. When I got the new one in the speedo was about 20 miles per hour off. Apparently the wagons had a different gear ratio... probably for towing. Anyways, I drove it like that until I sold the car a year later.
