Also the FSM's don't have the pulse charts of all of them, but the signals at ?? and 19mph appear to be the same.

How are you concluding that the VSS's are the same? The part # is different, at the very least. The same output doesn't necessarily mean there's the same number of teeth or that the length is the same. My 6-spd came with a VSS installed (altima tranny) so maybe I can compare it to a 5-spd VSS I may have kicking around.

Oh boy, apparantly I've made a bit of a mistake, and back when I was doing what I was doing apparantly I was reading the diagram for a VDC equipped car

and I must have been in that whole back-up MTR mode, as well as completely *** backwards at the time of how I thought the VSS circuit functioned and I thought that the entire vss was bypassing the cluster.

Maybe there could be a beginner's guide to what needs to be purchased/acquired and an overview of some of the necessary connections... but the nitty-gritty of the wiring portion should be discussed with someone who knows what to do if one has NO idea where to begin.
