Default VSS Fix???? d16 tranny

well my ecu threw the infamous code 17 vss. well my haynes manual was very little help and i decided to check to see if the wireing was ok... ofcourse it was fine... well then i decided to look in the engine bay where the problem was created when i replaced my o2 sensor... well the vss isn't a sensor but your speedo cable! to fix your probs try jiggling the spedo cable in and out of the tranny i was suprised to find that mine was moving up and down so i jammed it back in as far as it would go and bingo! fixed... i'm gonna replace the cable though... just thought you all would like to know....

there should be a little funny looking clip that holds the cable in the trans

You need the rubber boot at the end of the cable too - the flared end of the boot fit's (encapsulates) the clip so it can't fall out. It will fall out again if you don't get the boot over the clip.
