my speedo is junping around and doesnt work half of the time, so i figure its the vss.if i take it off of the tranny whats inside a gear?? can i mess anything up by removing it to get a replacement or is it just like 3 bolts and stick it back in and thats that?

ididnt think it would be a problem. its a 93 no its not throwing any codes

generally on those cars itsa the speedo head itself, you can try a known good cluster amd see if that fixes it, but if u already have a speedo it wouldnt hurt to throw that in real quick and c if its fixed.

ok.im just hoping its the vss and save me all the bs of taking the dash out

northkai3

lol, you dont have to take the dash out to change the cluster or the speedo head.

i would throw a known good cluster in there real quick and see if it works because it sounds like the speedo head, which is very expensive, so ur best bet would be to find a new cluster or if u like ur cluster find a different one, dissasemble it and remove the speedometer/odometer meter= speedo head, and install it into ur cluster, its very easy to do and theres only a few screws.

how do you take it out? and is the speedo head just the face that has the numbers or what? i know nothing about speedometers..

soif i just change the speedo head thatll most likely fix my problem since all of the other gages work?

im having the same problem as you and i tried swapping the speedometer head that didnt work. i swapped out the vss that didnt work and the gear in the trans looks fine to me. i pretty much came to a dead end. i think its something with the electrical. and its throwing a code 7. idk its retarted.
