In Feb. 2004 I had to have my transmission replaced on my 2002 Maxima SE. I was lucky because I had 52,000 miles on it so it was covered by the powertrain warranty. Since then I have over 60,000 miles on the car and the warranty has expired. Well now my speedometer is not working and a friend suggested the cable of the vehicle speed sensor which tells the ECU what speed you are going. He said it is connected to the transmission and it probably is a result of the transmission swap that was done. I contacted my dealer and they said the speedo problem and transmission work are not related and if I bring it in I will have to pay for service. I think this is total BS but I tried another dealer and they said the same thing. If it is the cable or the speed sensor how easy are they to replace, repair or whatever. Where is it located on the 2002 Maxima so I can check to see if it might be disconnected? I am somewhat mechanically inclined and would like to do this myself if possible. Is there a manual in .PDF format someone can send to me helping me with this issue? Thanks in advance.
