I thank you for your answer and we wait for other idea

The way I look at it is that because of the lower/higher axle ratio's the gearbox would spin at the same speed in either ratio, but the difference is that the forward/reverse speed of the vehicle would be greater in high ratio and slower in low ratio
"for the same gearbox speed" so therefore the speedo needs to 'adapt' to the different vehicle speeds even though the gearbox gears are spinning at the same speed internally in the gearbox.
Hope that is understandable...well it is to me anyway
