Well I have a d16a1 I need to get the speedo out of. On my last 3 attempts (different/spare trannies) I busted the speedo all up.

I live in the land of corrsion so I am sure that may have something to do with it.

As far as I can see I just unbolt the one bolt and it shoudl (therotically) come out.

Also will a d16a6 speedo gear work in a d16a1 tranny?

HELP need to know by tomorrow seeing I am going to buy a different d16a1 tranny since I have no idea how to get it out.

lightly tap it with a rubber mallet...

 

on the side, on the top? is it just the one bolt holding it in place or is there any type of hidden snap ring?

try on all sides...there should be only 1 screw that goes on top the holds it in place. you could also try prying lightly between the tranny and the s.s. with a screw driver. is the part where the screw goes in aluminum?

 

yeah there is like a little tab. I think its aluminum. Thats how I broke them before. I was trying to tap it out with a flat head, chisel, etc. and they busted.

 

If you have access to compressed air,use a blower nozzle
to blow out any sand/debris around the top where it goes into the case.

Soak the area liberally with a penetrating oil like PB Blaster..

Lock a small pair of vise grips around the lower larger portain of the sensor
And then work the sensor from side to side to break the seal of the internal o-ring
After the seal is broken,it should pull right out...

 

GREAT idea! I never had to do that to my sensors...but that sounds like it would work (vtecn8ive)..

 

thanks for the advice.

just curious where the little tab is that bolts down to the tranny?

you mean in his picture? He probably broke it off to.

 

I had to go to a junkyard to get a new one for my d16a6. All I had to do was remove the bolt and then pull upwards. It was a battle for the ages, but I eventually won. Visegrips and a strong will...

 

haha well I'll be trying today. hopefully all goes well

 

Doesn't it still work even if the tab is broken? Like if it breaks cleanly, and still makes contact with the speedo gear so it can't spin freely. Not a huge deal right??

 

Yes but I would prefer to not break it

 

The slot on the sensor is there,intact...
Look at about 2-3 o'clock on the sensor..

I have also heard of people using a dent puller/slide hammer
if the method described does not work for you.
