MTX or ATX?
Speedo might not work on a ATX if the output speed sensor is bad....
PArt number - 4800879.....

Did you check over in the stratusphere website on how to convert?
I know there is a topic over there somewhere on how to rewire the speed sensor...

is it possible for the little gear not to be lined up? im talking about there gear on the speed sensor tht gose into the tranny? also would not having engouhg fluid cause this?

aslo is it normall to hear noise from the trany like say if u shift into third, when you were only at 2000rpms in 2nd?

well i added more fluid and recconected the speed sensor the gear looked good and i felt around inside and the gear inside turnes too. but still nothing.

my fuel gauge also fluxuates alot after like hard acceleration.

could there be somthing wroing with my cluster?

check for voltage???

Also, could it be a bad cluster? bad battery? mine did something similar last year, ended up being the battery. :?
