I know the guts of it just unscrews. Grab and twist. The shell that's bolted onto the transmission, appears to be clipped on by one bolt and a clamp, similar to a distributor. Not sure what it connects with inside the transmission though. But I know the majority of it will just twist out

thankss heaps morton.. one more question is it easy to break something inside of the thing while doing it?

no just twist it. its threaded on there. and there is a little spinny thing in an auto it is about 2cm long and a manual has an extension on it. that slides over the auto one.

Yeah, it's a bit greasy. I havn't cleaned the old auto stuff yet since my conversion

That's eighteen years of grease I guess ^_^

I'm not sure exactly how to remove the speed sensor body from within the trans. I suspect it may involve removing the extension housing though.

i duno what it is morton if the sensor is what u where holding in ur hand.. i thought it was something to do with the thing thats bolted on the trans.. i would clean the sensor with a rag wd40 etc.. the speedo would work for a bit and then die.. i went to the wreckers i cant find a sensor thats similar to my one

Is it possible, just by some freaky silly chance, that the wires on the end of your plug are a bit worn? I've noticed on a number of cars that they're all exposed, and a lot are starting to fray, especially on the edge of the sensor housing.

is it broken is it suppose to be this short..

it looks like a spiral like a drill shape.. on all the vn-vps at the wreckers there like a long rectangle shaped thing
