Do they make less gear for the GS 430. lets say a 273:1. how did the 376 gear change inpact the speed0??? did it read a high reading on the dash than the car was travleing?
Someone please correct me if I am wrong.
The speedometer uses a sensor after the differential so the only thing that can mess up your speedometer is tire diameter.
Nope, speed sensor (for the speedometer) is on the tailshaft of the transmission.
I did a search and found a few posts stating the GS uses the ABS sensor which is located at the wheel. When you look at the "I just installed my 3.76 differential" threads I didn't find anyone making changes for their speedometer.

On my car, 2005 GS3, if I disconnect the speed sensor on the trans the speedo stops working. When going to a 3.73for a 3.26 rear end gear the speedo will read ~15% higher than actual (assuming stock wheel diameter is retained).

I think the cable comes along the drivershaft towards the right rear wheel spindle. It's reading the rotation of the rear wheel.
