Default Need help with what VSS to buy

I am looking to buy a new vss for my d16y7 but am not quite sure what to get.

How do I know if I need just the VSS or the VSS w/ gear?

I know that the gears for auto vs manual are diff but are the VSS's?

Would this work? The wording is hard to understand, obviously an Asian company

Or this one? Says it fits the y8 so should work with y7 right?

Or should i go to the pick and pull and get OEM, tryin to get something cheap but not complete junk.

Thx in advance

Get an OEM VSS. If you can't afford a brand new one from the dealership, rip one out of a junk yard. There's no reason to risk it with car electronics.

Ya i know OEMs always better and i try to get it but they can be pricey.

My main question was do i need the gear that connects to the vss?? or can i just get the electrical component??

Also pretty much all vss are the same right? i can get any vss from any d or b from 88 to 01????

Im about to go to the junk yard in a couple hours so if someone knows please let me know.

Yes, you want the full gear assembly.

As far as what cars you can rip one out of, the part number is 78410-S04-901. here is a list of cars that use the same part number.

based on that it looks like i can pull it from any manual 96-00 civic. Wouldnt I be able to take it out of a base sol? also eg vss's wont work?

I don't know enough about the VSS to say yes or no to that, I'm only cross referencing part numbers to give you an exact match. A quick search on Google says an EG VSS will work, but you might have to modify one of the legs.

Personally, I would stick with exact match and fix it the right way.
