If your speedometer was working, don't bother getting a new one.
If you cut the wire to pull the transmission, you can just reconnect the two wires. Doesn't matter which wire connects to which. The sender is a reed switch, which closes each time one of the eight magnets inside the transmission passes by it. Closing the reed switch grounds a circuit. You could check its function easily enough with an ohmeter and a magnet. Otherwise, when you clean the oil off of the tranny, it should clean the wire enough that it doesn't look decrepit. |
