Re: 700r4 speedo wiring

read the instructions that come with the speedo? thats a good start.

the gauge should need a switched 12v source, a switched light source, a ground, and a speedo signal. Its most likely going to have to be a buffered signal, not a raw signal straight form the sender, but all of this is should be covered in the instructions with the speedo.

under the passenderside dash, next to the computer, is a yellow box, thats the vss buffer box. There is a purple and a yellow wire, those are the 2 wires from the trans sender. there is also a green wire, thats the buffered signal to the speedo in the car now. Thats how my 86 TA is wired.
