i went to a nissan mechanic yesterday, for months i assumed i had a speedometer cable on my 89 SE, this guy just taps it back into place like it was nothing, and my speedo started workin. He told me it might pop out and stop functioning again. If this happens, where is it located so i can put it back in or replace it myself when necessary.

 

It is located on the transmisson housing toward the the back of the engine compartment. it is round,with one screw holding it in. This is for a 5sp. autos I am not sure.

 

make sure you dont take out the reverse switch. that has one 10mm bolt on it.....

 

you're probably talking about the electrical part. It has been known to pop up and you just need to tap the rubber back in.

 

where is it located and what does it look like?

the guy at the shop just did it like it was nothing, i didnt even know he did it until after he raised my car and cut it on.

 

on top of the transmission, not sure what it looks like installed.
I can get pics of it out of the care if you want

 

i'd appreciate that if you could, no big deal if you cant tho

 

TA-DA!

 

You da man, you da man!

 

Hi,
Could u please send me some pictures on the location of the speed sensor too?

assuming you have a VG (red valve covers and oil fillup tube toward the windshield) then the speed sensor is about 6" away from the oil filter (closer toward the driverside) on top of the tranny. it is about as big around as a half dollar and about 2" tall w/ a wire coming out of it that goes basically straight upward.

in same place on VE also but you can't use the oil filter as a point of reference cuz the VE oil filter's in the front.
