I was putting on the sending unit for the Autometer electric speedo when all of a sudden my takeoff for the speedometer on my trans broke off! It was not even put on there all the way. I was not done screwing it on and the casing with the threads on it broke right off of the trans. Now, is this going to cost me a new trans, or would it be fixable? Has anyone ever seen this before? It is a 700r4. Please, any help would be great. thanks

 

N E 1?? Also, maybe a price that i could expect too? Don't want to get ripped off! Thanks again

 

Does anyone have any input? Ever hear of this before? Thanks

 

Write down the numbers which are cast on the face of the
adapter and call a local tranny shop. They probably have a used one or can order one for you. You might have to remove the driveshaft and tailhousing to get the old one out of the housing if there is a lot of corrosion around the adapter.

 

So you have heard of this before? I know i have never heard of it happening. I'm just looking at what i should expect for a repair on it. thanks

 

Is this the part that broke? If so, it is between $30-$60 for a new one. Don't forget a new O ring for it and a new seal for the speedo gear. you can buy them here http://www.transmissioncenter.net/sp...n_______va.htm

 

I just had exactly the same problem, seems the inside diameter of the Autometer sender is just slightly smaller than the outside diameter of the cable hook-up.
How did you work around this problem?

 

LOL, my money pit is still sitting in the driveway! The motor runs excellent, but the car does not move. I have not seriously worked on it in weeks. Before I drive it I need to hook up my guages and shifter. Thats pretty much it. Call it laziness, call it being too damn busy with a ft job, school since Jan. and a ft girlfriend. Not to mention everytime I have gone out there, I am either missing a part, or something will break or not work. I plan on getting it back to the shop who did my trans. Its a few miles from here, and from what I can tell the trans does not leak anymore. good luck
