T5 Swap - VSS?
Ok, I bought a T5 swap and want to get everything ready before it goes in. I have a cable driven T5 and an electronic speedo '91 GTA. Just wondering what I need to swap from the cable setup to the electronic? VSS? And how does one go about getting a part number for the VSS if thats what I need?

According to the stickies, the 700R4 is larger for some reason.

I also need some info on this. I am putting in a t-5 with a cable speedo and my car has a vss and a 91 dash. How do I get my speedo to work?

Re: T5 Swap - VSS?
I can tell you that you will need the speedo cable housing from a TH350 trans. The ones on the 700 R4's and 200 4R's are bigger. If you look above at the stickies it has a ton of info that may help you out about fixing a speedo setup to work. I was just checking into it myself since I will be going from my auto OD trans to a 5 speed. HTH
