you have to twist it alittle just to break it lose before trying to pull it strait up.

 

Yes rotate it first a little before pulling it straight up.

 

i grabed that bitch by her neck and wiggled, pull, turn, push, pull, wiggle, pull, and that bitch still wont come out.

its getting dark so ima just try it after class tomorrow. thnx for the replies guys.

 

Did you check out the pins on the VSS and the connector? Any corrosion??

 

i couldnt take it out .... it wouldnt budge and it was getting dark so i stoped. Going to try in the morning after class.

 

I mean this piece---



This is the actual VSS, and the part you can't get off is for the power steering. Check the actual electrical connectors..

 

it looked fine..... i didnt look at it really good though because you guys said i had the wrong piece. The little metal piece was in good shape and the sensor looked good too.

 

Ok this is exactly what happened to me a few months ago..

My VSS was held on by 2 bolts just like yours.. when everyone said it would only be held on by 1 bolt!!!

Anyways all i did was replace the top part of the VSS and everything worked fine..

I reckon if you can get another VSS(the top part) and plug it in, then you can see if that's the problem or not..

Goodluck!!

 

ima go do that then. how much was the VSS sensor?

 

i bought mine 2nd hand so it didn't cost me that much.. if you cant find one i guess you'll have to call honda?

 

dealer is selling them for over $100. ima go to the junk yard see waht i can do.

btw can i use a sensor from a different tranny?

 

not exactly sure if the problem of the mysterious second bolt was solved yet but i found that one is the electrical connection bracket for the VSS that is bolted to the tranny as well as the VSS bolt itself. the two must be removed.. yep, two.

 

the 2 bolt one is the VSS sensor.(what i have pictured)

the 1 bolt one is the Power Steering one (big one)

 

since this is a thread about VSS. I just wanted to add that there are two different styles of VSS even So if your looking for a replacement remember to make sure that you get the right one.

heres a pic that I made a long time a go and happened to find it today

the thing i was talking about is the sensor at the top, that has 2 bolts. The one everyone else was talking about is the bottom part, which has one bolt.

the sensor is the top part and the bottom is the power steering part.

BTW how the hell did you get the whole thing out? i tried to pull that thing like crazy still wont come out. twist turn pull everything.
