hey guys, i really am stumped and need your help. i have a 1994 mustang gt and i have had a problem with my speedometer and odometer not working for 8 months or so and i thought it was the speed sensor on the drivers side trans and it didn't fix it. so i bought a new instrument cluster and it still doesn't work. any ideas what to replace next? or check?

speedo gear I'll bet...if they are the same as the pre 94 ones. look on the transmission where the speedo cable goes in and there will be a bolt holding a clamp type thing on. Remove that and pull the cable out I bet you find a stripped speedo gear. They are small and about no bigger than the last 1/2 inch of you pinky finger........Ford was bad for having speedo gears strip. and they are only about 10-15 bucks from ford

Yes Roland......driver's side of the trans.....one bolt and bracket pulls out ...remove the c-clip and it slides right out......I was thinking either gear or cable.....good luck and let us know.

i agree with the above info. and wanted to tell you welcome to stangnet.... also what size rear end gears are installed because if you have 3.73 gears the 23 tooth speedo replacement gear to correct speed are bad about stripping as stated above....
