Can anyone tell me if non-WC T5s came with a VSS like the autos (two wires going to a gizmo in the tailshaft)?

If so can you tell me the GM part number or rpo code for it.

Thanks a bunch!

I dont think they did... I have a vss for a T5 for sale, if you want it, Kevin

 

Is it made to fit on the tailshaft?

Right now I have a VSS from a 700R4(see sig above) but it is too big to fit in the tailshaft and my improvised adapter is not working too well.

Thanks
Dale

 

Yea it is from a T5 and it mounts in the tail shaft..The picture is dark but you can see it if it shows up..Kevin

 

This vss is in a world class T5 but they should fit a NWC T5 Too.I have never used it so I cant guarantee it works but it should the car I took it out of only had 60,000 miles.. Kevin

 

Only the 87 Firebird, as its the only non-WC trans used with an electronic speedo. The WC trans was used from 88+.

Does anyone know if this VSS will DEFINITELY work? It sounds very promising but I would like to be certian (or close anyway).

Thanks

To answer my own question, a VSS from a later tranny will work just fine.

I used an AutoZone part no. SU1013 VSS made by Wells. Got a gear from a GM dealer and Viola!

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction everyone.
