Speed Sensors

[PCC]

Just as I thought the Cobra was running well, another (not another) electrical issue has arisen.

The problem I'm getting, which is sporadic, is that the speedo is going wild (bouncing) not good with those mobile radars around).

Also find that when its bouncing I lose any ability to kick down through the gears, still accelerates with no problems, but simply won't drop a gear when under hard acceleration.

I run a LE95 Auto and think it may be a dirty speed sensor.

Does anyone know where they are on the tranny so that I can clean them up?

Those infernal electrical issues

Hi Peter,

On my trans (auto) its near the back about 6 inches from the tail shaft and on the drivers side. Mines an electronic transducer so it has wires comming out of it. Its held in place with a single screw.

Wondered how long it would have taken you Mike to come back with that one.

Have you got your long johns on yet???????????

[Aussie Mike]

No long johns yet but I had to fire up the shed heater the other day. The only sun burn I'm getting these days is off the welder.


Hopefully when the good weather returns I'll have a Cobra that makes it's own broom broom noises.

Cheers

By the way, what does blah blah blah mean - is it some obscure reference to sheep???

Cameron,

No wires on that side of the tranny.

Scraped under the car and found a solenoid (I think) near to the neutral switch covered in oil.

Cleaned up the connection and will see if that was the problem.

As it is intermittent, I think it is more of a connection problem rather than a vss replacement issue.

Time will tell
