ok so my speedo worked fine before with my AODE, swapped in the T5 (reused old speed sensor and gear) and now shes not working. should i go ahead and buy a new speed sensor from 50resto? stock sensor has about 127K miles on it

also car stalls every time i push the clutch in and let the RPM's drop down, very annoying, would raising the idle help with this?

dude, i have the SAME exact problem. I still havnt figured it out or gotten any answers. As a bandaid, i recomend just giving it a quick hit of the gas before you put the clutch in. Nothing sever, just as little as 100rpm will do it. Itll keep it from stalling. Mine only stalls if you put the clutch in as the rpm's are climing down. Mines been like this for 2 months!

SOMEONE ANSWER!!!!

my problem came after i put the newer T5 in as my old one took a **** on me. It was always a stick tho.

Hey man, I think the speedo gears are slightly different between the autos and manuals.... but I may be wrong. If so, that could be your problem.

As far as the clutch/idle deal ... I don't know much about swaps. Never knew anything about AODE setups, but could it be a computer thing? You know, maybe a spec that the AODE setup had ... that the T-5 setup don't need, or visa-versa? .....

well i swapped computers to a 5speed comp

im pretty sure it has to do with my cam and new injectors/MAF(did a whole H/C/I swap at the same time)


BTW:

ive been told the vss or something is responsible for the stalling. Ill pick a new one up i guess. See if that works. Is that the sensor that attaches to the speedo gear?

they are, but i heard that the only difference was the round piece that sticks out of the end was longer and could be cut down to work

ok i feel like a doof, the plug for the sensor wasnt all the way down

i cleaned both connections with a q-tip, plugged it in all the way and speedo works great now

also no more stalling when i come to a stop but now i have a check engine light and need to pull codes

drives great tho

Did you buy a complete swap kit ? If so, what added parts did you need to buy?

ditto, and also, what was the cause of your car stalling out when you came to a stop?

i think it was all related to the VSS not being plugged in all the way because as soon as that was fixed it stopped stalling.. wierd..


i didnt buy a kit, i bought the tranny/bell/clutch fork/cable from the same guy so all i had to piece together for it was pedals, computer, clutch and flywheel
