Lower Speedometer Cable

[whiteguy3]

Believe me I've searched and found no answer!

I noticed my speedo bouncing and it finally dropped down and stopped yesterday while driving. So, today I went out there and found the cable from the firewall connecting to the lower speedo cable. I tried turning the upper cable and the speedo does jump, meaning the upper was fine. So, I then tried unhooking the clip for the lower speedo cable and unscrewing the two plastic portions. Got them unhooked and was messing around with cleaning the lower and barely touched it and it just was completely disconnected! This sucks because it connects to the VSS and runs back up to the upper speedo cable. The cables looked great by the way.

Question is how do I get it back in???

I couldn't even see with a light or anything where the VSS is. I have rather medium/small hands so it could be done...hopefully. I just want to be able to connect it the best possible way. I'm assuming the retaining clip came off.

Also, should I change the VSS while down there???

Any ideas?

I didn't even know they could be seperated. Have you tried getting a replacement from a JY yet?

I'm not trying to replace it. I want to get it back into the VSS. The speedo cable runs from the VSS, along the block, up below near the intakes EGR connection and connects to the upper part of the speedo cable. I just can't find it where it connects below!

There is a little metal cover that slides on to the vss. That is why you cant see it.

If your looking from under the car, to the right of the exaust, on the top right corner of the tranny (around that area), you should see it.

Hope that helps you
