I have already done that...I've been to 2 mechanics...1 simply put in a new speed sensor...I told the second one what the symptoms were and he checked the wiring of the sensor and other various things and came to the conclusion that he was not able to tell what it was without running more tests...that might not actually give any answers
So, does anyone have any advice other than "take it to a good mechanic"??? I have done that. I am looking for someone that has either had a problem like this before or some sort of "expert" that just understands this stuff.
You'll need a sensor simulator:
If you want to spend about $200.00, then by all means, go to an auto parts store, and buy an OTC sensor simulator and tester.
Set it to wheel speed sensor, then take the plug off of the VSS, and put the two probes in the plug. Raise the volume like knob, and viola. If the speedometer works, you see the sensor is either bad, or the gear in the transmission is loose.
If it doesn't work, then it's either the >> Lets see. You took it to a shop and told them to change thespeedsensorand
