hey guys i swapped a t-5 into my 87 350 bird, and i need to figure out what part number etc of the vss for my bird, i know the ones from v6 t-5s will work but when i went to autozone they had 3 diff kinds, i assuming because of the diff mph speedos

i have a 140 mph speedo(electric)but the trans has a mechanical cable set up, i wanna switch it out to get my speedo to work probperly, and need to get the right plug to, i have the purple yellow etc wires hanging down,


thanks for any imput, lemme know if u need more info

 

I am in the same boat too and would like to know how to get my speedo working with my cable drive on the t5.

 

as far as i can tel the only way that can happen is a custom mounted mech speedo, but remeber the vss also tell shte ecm certain things so basicly u need to have one to have ur engine run correctly


i spose i could buy one see if it fits if not then buy the next one in exchage for the one that doesnt fit

 

Doesn't Dakota Digital have some sending units for this??? I think we went through this on the Impala board a while back.....When guys were swapping in TH400

 

Not sure lemme check it out

 

Nevermind........ I found the site I was thinking about....


Speedo fixes

Start about halfway down.....

You'll love this site!

 

it has the 700r4 down here but not the t-5, Am i just blind or? lol

im trying to find a speed sensor to fit into my cable driven t5 ( or) an adapter that would go betweent he cable and the electronic speedo wires to make it work correctly

 

What T5 are you using???

Tremec, or Borg-Warner

 

As far as i can figure its the borg warner, i bought it from the guy who swapped it and he did all the mechanical stuff im kinda just tieing things up, i know its not brand new im guessing its a rebuilt borg warner t-5, hope this helps thanks

 

Read this info........

Pages 4 & 5 seem to be able to help

 

thanks seems to help im gonna try to swap one in
