Tranny issues...PLEASE HELP.

[TurfBurn]

[bold]no machining needed to put the gear on the MSP LSD.[/bold] It fits on fine without machining, done it plenty of times. You just have to shave a ittle of the inside corner that goes "down" on the LSD of the pink gear and you'll be okay. You do need the pink speedo gear on there or your speedo won't work. Only other way to "fix" it is to convert the car fully to ABS and switch ECU's.

The speedo sensor is on the top back of the transmission, roughly directly below the throttle body if you dropped a line down to the transmission.

Later,

You would need to install that white gear thingy also. And there is were the sensor would plug up.

why would i need that? i think i should have this already....

Steve, can you give me your input?

 

[Dpwhitehead1]

it's on the backside, just source a speedo sensor and worry about it when you have the tranny out. the plug will probably be fairly obvious.

well if you see anyone selling the sensor..lmk.

You probably got rid of it when you got rid of the transmission.

woohoo i'm damn glad that i have 2 wheel disc.lol.

 

[Kansei]

I'm really scratching my head as to how it would make a difference whether the car had 2 or 4 wheel disc brakes.

lol @ 120 dollars for a plastic gear and sensor

4 wheel disc i think has sensors in the rear.

 

[CustomMSP]

I have a speed sensor I can sell you if you want.

 

[Dpwhitehead1]

what plastic gear?

 

[Kansei]

what plastic gear?

the white one that connects to the pink one on the lsd

 

[Dpwhitehead1]

I have a speed sensor I can sell you if you want.

how much?

also wtf does it look like/where does it connect?

BTW would this cause a cel?(the fact that me speedo isn't working)

 

[Dpwhitehead1]

the white one that connects to the pink one on the lsd

shouldnt i have that in my tranny already?

 

[Kansei]

nope, the MSP just has a plug instead since it doesn't use the tranny speed sensor. Your LX tranny had it though.

you just need the speedo gear and the speedometer sensor and you should be all set. Make sure there's no plug or plug with speed sensor just hanging near your transmission though. Maybe it just never got hooked back up because there was no place to put it (due to the plug in the MSP tranny)

 

[miss_steele_msp]

Try and pay attention to the info you are getting. The picture I posted shows the plastic gear you would need, it also shows were it goes. The msp trannies DONT have that. If we did your speedo would work.

ok. i'm trying to.

when it says speed sensor, i don't know if it comes w/ the damn wheel or w/e..if you're saying it does come with it, then i'll be fine. no need for getting upset.

This is a sample picture of a Speed Sensor Used in the Protege Manual Transmission. This one came from a 96 protege. The 01 Protege's sensor looks almost the same, but it has a white gear instead of a green one. The Pink Ring Gear that sits on the LSD Drives this Speed Sensor.

AHHH
now i ******* get it. THANK YOU MAN. dammit..

how much would you be willing to sell the speed sensor for?

Im not mad And I wasn't implying anything. I was just showing you a pic so you could get an idea of what you needed and where it goes. So that piece that turfburn posted and the pink ring and you should be set. I hope that cleared things up for you. good luck.
