i have a cable jdm gsr transmission with a damaged speedo sensor. they are extremely hard to find and i dont know what to do at this moment. is there anything that i could do to fix this or do you know where i can find a replacement. any and all help would be greatly appreciated

thank you

 

If it makes you feel any better ive been driving my car with the sensor busted like that for 2 years without any issues. Makes it easier to work on tbh.
I guess you could wedge a piece of paper when you put the cable in to wedge it in place

 

any cable b series one will work.

 

a piece of paper??? is yours broken that far down to where you cant use the clamp as well?

i read that the ls doesnt fit

 

ok. well then dont listen to me lol.

 

does that mean you were just talking out of your *** or it actually doesnt fit and im being stubborn?

 

I'm pretty sure it does, it might need to come from a YS1 (92 - '93) LS though.

 

They dont have a clamp. They use a pin that slides through the gap where yours broke, and through the groove in the cable. I see plenty that have broken at the slot cut into them.

And im not 100% but I think they all work.
I just looked it up. The 93 gsr has the same part number for the speed sensor as a 90 ls 5 speed.
56500-PR3-010
The 90 autos have a different part number but im almost positive I ripped the sensor im using in my car out of a 90 auto, and I have a 92-93 ls 5speed in my car

 

im saying it does fit and works, i have interchanged them from cable to hydro and hydro to cable. they all fit the same.

 

Aren't hydro speed sensors electronic?

 

Yes, but when running a cable trans in a hydro chassis or vice versa it's necessary to swap VSSs.

 

Exactly my point...use the vss that came with the car or the same type.... in other words a hydro vss will bolt up but not work in a da.... its electronic whereas the da is mechanical

 

Im willing to bet his ys1 is a cable LS.

 

note the pictures... they arent the same length. now what?

i sure hope so. thanks, dick

 

anybody?

 

immmm stuuuuck. dont know what i should do at this point

 

nobody eyy?

 

[QUOTE=ghosthatch;49536299]note the pictures... they arent the same length. now what?



The sensor on the right is a D series cable and the one on the left is a B series Cable. I have a B series cable sensor for you. I will PM a price.

 

[QUOTE=Synchrotech-Transmissions;49550170]actually i pulled that straight out of my ys1 ls b series transmission

 

The sensor with the plastic gear on it is from an L3 88-91 Cable D series. Someone must have installed the wrong one in the B trans at some time.
