Will getting a b series speed sensor work for all b series trany? Just got me a tranny today and the speed sensor is there except that the part where the screw goes in is broken so there is nothing to keep the speed sensor and tranny together.

any b-series speed sensor will fit each other, whether cable or electric driven. should be the same way on d-series as well. i have a cable driven VSS in a hydraulic transmission.

thxs for the info bro! rep for u. also know where or price range for a new speed sensor? cus the one i got i think work fine except that the place taht holds the screw/bolt is broken so nothing to keep the tranny and speed sensor down. If u know any easy way to fix that feel free to leave some suggestions.

yeah, that tab seems to break, when you tighten that 10mm too much. happened to me once. i barely turned it with a 3/8" ratchet, and it wanted to break on me. so now i hand tighten it, then give it a slight tug using 1/4" tools. anyway on to the suggestion of fixing it.

unless you can fab up something, and do your own aluminum welding, i don't see a way on repairing it. VSS usually goes for $40-$60. cable is on the cheaper side of the price range.

i wouldn't go to the dealer for that part. since it's cable driven, for the one you need. any from a 88-91 civic/crx will work, i know on manual transmissions definitely, or 90-93 integra's also. but i'd say a decent price for one, that i'd pay for if i needed one. is around 40 dollars, 50 tops, if you're desperate for one. but i like to find them for $30 or less.

yeah, 30 is cheap. hahahaa. is that too expensive? lol. and yes, the 88-91 civic/crx vss will work fine, it bolts right in. looks different than the 90-93 integra ones. but i've seen that it works.

hahaa.. yeah, it should work. i've never done it personally, but i've heard it does work. i've seen it used in a b-series cable transmission. hooked up. drove the car also. and seen it work.. so i'd say it works...
