Default 700R4 speedo issues

I recently picked up a 700R4 for my 93 T/A and the problem i ran into is that it cam installed with a 40 tooth reluctor wheel and sensor. I'm curious if anyone knows if there is a converter that will convert one signal to another.

What signal?
All A4 f bodies with electronic speed sensors use 40 tooth reluctor wheels.
The only thing you should need to do is splice the proper plug end on your wiring harness.

The only problem you might have is if you switched from a manual trans with a 17 tooth reluctor wheel.

Mine came with the old red and yellow gears that spun the sensor, when i'm going 5 MPH my speedo is saying i'm going 120 to 130 mph when hooked up.

Oh that type.
You can swap what you were running before into the trans you have now.
Factory parts are way cheaper than signal converters.

That reluctor wheel looks pressed in, is it easy to take out or will i have to remove the tranny and take it to a machinist to remove the reluctor wheel.

If you're not going to reuse it just take the tail off the trans and cut the reluctor with a die grinder, or whatever you have. A bearing puller with long arms or one that uses allthread rod, etc.
