so its not 6 on the drive gear? so how many is it?
i think from the speeds you gave a 13 driven gear would make it read a bit high, or a 14 driven it'd read a bit low.
unfortunately i dont think they make driven gears smaller than 17... atleast not on that site i listed before. so i'm guessin youre going to have to end up changing the drive gear.

assuming your drive gear is a 6 tooth, and from the numbers on speed you posted earlier, i think an 8 tooth drive sprocket would get you very close.
