Re: 90 Camaro Speedomoter Help!!

You need to change the drive and driven speedometer gears in the tailshaft of the transmission. They're attached to the VSS. Go to the Tranny/Drivetrain forum and look there. What kind you need depends on if you have a T5 manual or 700R4 automatic.

Also, please do not type in all capital letters, its rude.

No. The only way to fix your speedometer is to change the plastic speedo gears.

If you disconnect it, then the computer gets confused and it will stall out on you when you slow down. You will also get an SES light for a code 24.
