VSS question??

I had to install a new speedo cable in my car the other day and encountered a problem. The housing that the cable screws into o the side of the tranny cracked. So now I need a new one. I believe that it is the VSS but since I have a mechanical speedo I am not sure. I can't seem to find this part anywhere. It is a big black plastic thing that goes into the side of the transmission. Does anyone know where to get one??? I need it fast!! Thanks a lot.

You are probably talking about the sleeve that holds the speedo driven gear. You have a cable to the transmission, correct, not a wire and plug. If it the speedo cable you do not have a VSS on the end of the transmission. The sleeves are common and you shouldbe able to put any gm t5 sleeve in its place.

Try posting on the classified for one.

Yea it is just a big plastic piece with a hole in it for the speedo gear to stick out and engage the cable. The cable screws onto the side. I went to GM and they did not even know what it was. It would be nice if I could just find a new one and buy it from somewhere.

They are discontinued from GM. Send me an email; I have a few and I'll sell one. How many teeth are on the driven gear please?
