i hav a 1992 camaro rs with a TH350 tranny....this is how i bought the car but for sum odd reason the speedo wont work...the rpm gauge works if neone has ne ideas please help

 

what exactly do you mean it wont work?

does it move at all, or does it make an attempt to move?

it could be a loose speedometer cable, or maybe a short somewhere in the cluster, the transmission might have a problem....theres many things, I(we) just need a little more info

 

my car is electric not cable driven i need to no how to make that conversion the original tranny dat belonged in the car was a 700r4 now its a th350

 

I hate to break this to you, but if you have a th350 it's cable driven. If the 700r4 had a vehicle speed sensor before and that was just plugged into the th350 then you've already found your problem. You need a speedometer that is cable driven, a speedometer cable, and the correct speedometer gear and housing that originally came with the th350.

 

Thats going to be aggravating!

Option #2
Buy a GPS and mount it on the dash panel above the radio/console bezel. At least you could get your MPH and miles driven. I had the speedo go out in a Honda beater I bought for commuting back and forth to work (not much to look at but 32 mpg is great) and used a small GPS until I got it fixed.

 

Not a bad temporary fix. I commend you on your ingenuity. I wouldn't have thought of that.

 

I bought one 6-7 yrs. ago for when I take my jet-ski out onto a big lake down in SC. It has a odometer, tripometer and speed in several different style displays. Only draw back is it takes it a minute or so to locate the satellites.

 

Who cares about the drawback. That's just cool.
