B vs D series VSS (please help before I try)
Okay, I just ordered a VSS from someone here on H-T who claims it came out of a GSR.
As far as I know the B-series VSS speedo gear is metal & D-series is plastic & the gears aren't interchangeable but the sensors themselves are. I can't swap the speedo gear shaft out cuz I broke mine on accident.
I need to know before I try driving this thing if:
A) Some B-series VSS speedo gears are plastic
or
B) B-series & D-series are compatible & shouldn't have a problem.
I'm afraid to test this out without having more input from people other than the seller for fear of the speedo gear breaking off inside my transmission.
Here is a write up on another forum that causes doubt along with the fact that mine was metal as well. (the write up might not apply to all models)

yes some b series vss are one piece plastic units. and some d series will work. automatic d series speed sensors even will, but won't bolt in unless you trim a slot into the tip.

Well I counted the teeth & both had 20 & after talking to a few other people I said screw it & installed it. It worked...I guess only time will tell if the gears dont line up...
So IDK if not all B-series vss gears are metal or D-series work too but for now it works.
