When I upgraded to 4.89s in my '62 I bought a new 5 tooth ring gear from Dave Cirillo. I wondered if there would be binding between the new ring and old pinion, but they fit together just fine. My thought is there is a lot of play designed into the speedo gears. They carry virtually no load, they just have to turn consistently. So a little play between the gears allows for some discrepancy in the tooth contact.
Just my 2 cents.
