300e Speedometer fluctuation

Sep 30, 2008 2 Replies

My 300e's speedometer will run up to and peg at 160MPH the true speed being 25MPH. It's intermittent. Sometimes if works fine. On a percentage basis, I would say that it malfunctions 75% of the time. Is there a bushing that has too much lateral play in it? Is there an adjustment that can be made? Thanks for your help.

There is a speed sensor at the transmission... either that or the speedometer is bad.

Thanks Tiger. How does the transmission speed sensor work? Where is it situated?
