I have a 97 3.8 5 speed that someone before me swapped an older trans into it and now i have no speedo just trying to get this fixed being i got a good deal on the car and this is the only major issue

i have changed the cluster and will b changing the vss in the morning but i have a feeling it wont work anyone that can help me get this fixed as fast and cheap as possible any help is appriciated thanks

 

First thing I would do is check a scanner and see if the PCM can see the VSS pulse.

 

i have a friend coming over to check that out....my main problem is that it is a 97 with an obd1 trans in it idk how they got everything else to work perfect just no speedo looking for alternatives or adapters to make it work without converting the whole car to obd1 or having to swap transmissions to make it work

 

need to find out what year trans it is. can you post up a couple pictures

 

Can you take a pic of it,,,, The 3.4 had an external slave cylinder and the 3800 has an internal one. Seems like a huge pain to convert a 3.4 trans to a 3800, I have never even heard of anyone doing it, also there is a shortage of 3.4 bell housing because of a weak point in the external slave. Also the clutches and flywheels are not interchangeable.

 

could it be a 95 3.8 trans

 

No such animal.

All 95 3800's where automatics and OBD2.
