Hi, ive searched the whole forum but still didnt find the answer,
car is a 96 silvia (prefacelift) sr20det, was once an auto, now manual.
speedo sensor is dead, bought a new one (for M\T),
where is the sensor located?
can i replace it myself?
it seems really simple....

Tail end of the transmission, secured by an M6 bolt.

Do it quick or you'll get gear oil all over you.

which side is better to jack the car from?
or does it need a lift?

10x for the quick reply...

It's on the passenger side, jacking it up from the back will allow some of the fluid to slosh forward, making less of a mess when you pull the sensor.

It's simpley a plug and play thing, right?
just the bolt and connecting the plug?
thanks allot!

thats right. be careful not to round out the bolt. its kinda hard to get at without a very small socket/wrench.

Jacked the car up,but i couldnt find anything that fits the sensor,
took a picture, is that it?

can anyone post a pic of it?

thanks allot...

I am pretty sure you took a picture of it. It is the thing on the right side of the picture.

It's the biggest sensor coming out of the gearbox. It has two wires and the wires run up to a connector near the firewall, next to the heater hose area.

alonroz · 01-19-2007, 08:04 AM

That's it, someone plugged yours with something it looks like.
