Hey All,
Here's the dilema, Monday morning I'm driving on the highway at about 80-90 and I realize my car tranny isn't upshifting to OD like it should be at that speed. So, I look down to find that my speedo isn't working, the tach/fuel/temp appear to be fine. Then when I got off the highway at my exit I stopped and everything downshifted fine. When I went to pull away from the stoplight the car didn't want to shift into second and when it did it was very rough...and when I say rough I mean violent enough to cause my muffler to shake and 'thud' against the underside of my car. At this point I've tried nothing to fix it but I'm about to put in my other speedo from the tach equipped guage cluster I bougth some time ago. This speedo is the original speedo that came in the car only it is installed in a different cluster.
So, I've tried swapping in a different speedo with no result so the guage isn't the problem. Everything else in the car works fine, as far as I can tell anyway. I just replaced the TSS(Turbine Speed Sensor)and still nothing. When I first went to the dealer I asked for a Speed Sensor and the guy gave me another part that had a small prong that could freely spin, however that doesn't match the TSS at all. Any thoughts? All fuses are good and all connections appear okay upon inspection. Also, I had a CEL on Monday when the tranny started shifting hard and that hasn't come back since I reset the EEC. If it does I can pull that code and maybe go from there. I'm out of ideas...anybody else?! Thanks in advance!!
I wonder if it has something to do with the new tranny I had to buy. Maybe a problem came about before the old tranny died and the VSS has been slowly wearing away? I dunno, well thanks to all...hopefully I'll have time over the next couple of days to pull the VSS and check it out.
