Re: VSS???

82-89 Camaros have the VSS on the back side of the instrument cluster; 90+ Camaros have the VSS located on the trans tail shaft. If you have a code 24, disregard it if the wheels aren't turning when the light pops on.

As I mention above, the VSS for 82-89 Camaros is on the back of the cluster (yellow box).

Re: VSS???

I'm getting a code 24 after a rear end swap but only after I drive for a bit. Is there someplace on this site that will tell me how to fix?
Thanks!

Re: VSS???

You said disregard it if it comes on when the wheels arn't rolling? I cant tell if thats true cuz its on all of the time for a couple of things and my speedometer doesnt work. Does this have anything to do with that?

Your speedo not working has nothing to do with the VSS on your 85. Check the following link for more info about mechanical speedo malfunction:

The following off-site info may be helpful. Scroll down to code 24 diagnostics:
