ok i have read a ton of info on the t5 swap stuff, I have every thing but my tranny is a 83 t5 for a v6 im fine with that but i need to know about my vss i see alot of post saying my car wont run or wont run right? what do i need what do i need to get how do i find it and all, i think my biggest issue it i have looked at so many post you kinda get lost in a sea of miss info and some right info. But it's a bit over whelming for me can some one shine some light on this here and help me ?. Also my speedo stopped working i put in a speedo from a 91 camaro and it buzz's at low speeds then at about 50mph it reads 20mph did i do a opps there ??

thanks for any help hope my grammar is OK.

 

All third gens used a VSS that fits right in place of the speedometer driven gear & gear sleeve in the tailhousing. You need a VSS for a 1992 Camaro with T5, which will bolt right into your 83 T5. If your speedo was correct before, copy the ratio of the speedo gears in the 700-R4 and duplicate them with the T5. (such as... if your 700-R4 has 15 and 43 teeth, you could go with a 7 and 20 combination in the T5.)

 

ok were do i find thes parts i see some say you cant get new???

 

You need to figure out how many teeth for the driven gear since you probably already have the right drive gear first (if you don't, you could be in trouble since not too many places have any anymore and a lot of people are begging for them... I already sold my spare). You're probably going to want to go to junkyards for this since most sites I've seen say they're sold out of them. I got lucky and found mine on a speedo cable adapter in my 85 T-5. But, then, I also have a 3.42 rear...

Second, the VSS is readily available from just about anywhere, but you need to make sure it's a 90-92 VSS and not an earlier one.

 

and how do i do that maverick my speedo gear will be fine i have the gears i need the vss part

 

Have you looked here.

P.S. by the way i have a couple of universal vss for sale. They can accomodate electric signal and have cable provision. These unversal vss screw into the cable port on the tranny.

P.P.S i couldn't find this earlier but i think it has what you need.

wow 150 bucks ,so ill ask again do i realy need it to make my car run right ???

 

Ever run without a VSS and a manual? I have. It will stall when you push in the clutch pedal and have other minor drivability quirks.

Get it.

 

Well, since half of the calibrations in the MEMCAL depend on the vehicle speed, yes, it kind of has something to do with the way the engine runs. You've posted in other threads you're having problems with the speedo head. There are only 3 parts in the speedo system, not counting the wiring between... The VSS, the ECM (on 90-92 cars), and the speedo/odometer itself.

 

ye the chip went bad in my last speedo so i swapped it still don't work
