Elctronic speedo

[Dinosauro]

My 92 MTX speedo needle has been erratic and inaccurate lately, although odometer seems to be operating properly. As there is only an electrical cable from the trans-mounted VSS, I assume that somewhere in the production run, they switched from cable-drive to electronic signal. Do we know when ( at what number)? Can I bench-test the VSS when out of the trans ? I've been quoted prices from $29 to $129. for aftermarket replacements. I haven't tried Ford yet. Any recommendations welcome !!

Thanks to all !

Speedometer is cable driven entirely.

Yes,your basically stuck with the cable speedo.
Your options include going over the cable and making sure it is seated correctly and or replacing.
Or you could put together a custom cluster to include a GPS based speedo.

People have done the digital swap. Might do a search on that. I think Mitchell(jelloslug) did a write up on it.

I was wrong ! I dug around a bit more up there, and FOUND a cable housing hiding in the darkness !

Thanks, Guys !
