VSS Removal/install
for those of you with a speedo that is non functioning, or very problematic the vss is usually a good fix.
for those of you that dont know what a VSS is, it stands for
Vehicle
Speed
Sensor
and this well, monitors your speed and gives an electrical signal to your dash.
the VSS is usually located right over the differential on a honda transmission as seen here: on a S20 trans
its on the back of the transmission right above the shift levers on a D series transmission.
to remove the VSS from the transmission remove the bolt shown.
And when that is loosened just wiggle it out
and here is an electronic VSS from a S20 D series transmission
Install is reverse of removal
VSS Function Explained
the way a VSS works is that little yellow gear turns a little shaft that gives off an electrical signal that is sent to the speedo (shown here)
and that little yellow gear rides on a helical gear in the differential (shown here)
very simple fix to a odd problem
