Is there such thing as a speedometer sensor

 

I don't know. Let me check on.....<<<cough, cough>>>>.....google. I'll get back with you.

 

I already googled it and i look at advanced and autozone and I cant find one.I was just checking

 

I guess there isn't one, then. Dang.

 

They use a new way of checking speed Thook. A guy runs along side the car with a clipboard checking off how fast you are going based on the moons gravitational pull.

 

Is that taking into account nodal transitioning? Otherwise, I don't see how it could be accurate unless the driver has some idea of which direction he's going. I mean reverse just isn't forward. But, then maybe the clipboard guy has good reflexes.

Tennis, anyone?

 

Haha Guys lets stay focused.I need help lol

 

We know.

 

hahaha

 

Well, I replaced the speed VSS with a $203 (including shipping) part from Toyotapartszone.com and the speedo is working all of the time now. The trans hasn't slipped yet, but it hasn't been long enough to know for sure. Took all of 3 minutes to swap parts.

 

How much have you driven it, then? When, I put the new VSS in my wife's '92 4rnr, the change was immediate. IOW, the speedo and all started working correctly right away, and the transmission stopped the erratic shifting.

Yeah, it's an (ooops) easy part to change out.

 

I won't know because the erratic shifting I was having didn't occur every day or even every week. It would lie in wait until the best moment to act up. But I feel confident that's fixed now.

 

Well, 6 months and not a peep. Seems we have a winnah!

 

Hey krytellan, you wouldnt happen to remember the part number. would you??
Or does anyone have a picture or willing to take one of the exact location??

 

83181-35051

If you go in from the passenger side, it isat the top of the transfer case. It has an electronic plug attached. It has a black, diamond-shaped base if I remember.
