Speed sensor or speedo gauge?
When the vehicle just barely starts to move in reverse, the speedo needle goes to 30mph. I stop. needle drops to 0. I put in drive and just barley move forward and the speedo needle moves immediately to 40mph. No matter how slow or fast, needle stays at 40, unless I stop, then it drops down to 0 again.
I replaced the Speed Sensor and even checked for resistance in the wires, nothing changed and resistance is good. I even thought that maybe the speedometer adaptor was put in using the wrong pinon gear reference point when A/T was rebuilt. I adjusted it, and this time, the needle did not move at all when driving, so I adjusted the adapter back to its original position. What next? Could it be something with the speedo gauge instead? Isnt there another sensor on the transmission farther forward?
Thank you
