Well, when I first got my xj in September last year my speedo would dance around like crazy. I disconnected it, tried to "clean it" (i just wiped off some tranny fluid and used a q tip in the female end) and put it back in hoping it would make it better, and it ended up going out completely. I replaced the sensor and all is well.

Doesn't sound like your issue considering it has a different connection. May I ask exactly what you mean by that? You used the same sensor and harness right? Or did you have to change either?

apparently the gear is offset and i have it in backwards so the teeth arent touching the gear. just need to align the gear right. oops.

i used the old one that has the same connector as my old one.
