auto tranny speed sensor on a manual tranny

auto tranny speed sensor on a manual tranny.... will it work?

i broke the speed sensor on my manual tranny.... i can get my hands on a auto tranny speed sensor, but was wondering if it will work...

The A/T speed sensor will not fit into the M/T, its larger in diameter.

thanks. quick reply time!

buuuut

you can grind it down wiht a dremel and it will fit in there then. You just have to be careful and make sure you trim evenly all the way around.

I have done this and it for sure works.

i have never had a problem putting a automatic speed sensor in a manual tranny...im talking bout ka here....not 100% sure on sr thought

It's the same transmission, so it would be the same fitment. However, the auto VSS is larger, so you've either been installing manual units or pregrinded autos.

but s13 vss are different from s14 vss, right?

sr and ka vss are the same, I'm using a SR one on a KA right now.

S13 and S14 vss are different, however they will fit, but wont read correctly.

[cronux]

okay thank you.

[projectRDM]

but s13 vss are different from s14 vss, right?

Right. S13 is aluminum case with a long lead, S14 is plastic case without a lead.

okay, i have an s14 tranny, and a s13 tranny harness, and was wondering why it doesnt reach to where the vss is. thanks, again rdm

you're saying it won't read out in kmh?

Reading kmh vs mph is all in the cluster not the vss in the case of the sr20de(t) and ka24de clusters.

Heres a screen shot from NISSAN FAST showing they both have the same part number also:

Why would it read in km/h if the cluster is in MPH?

There is NO difference between VSS units in other markets. Auto or manual, S13 or S14, that's it. Four sensors total for every application in every World market.

Yes, the SR20DET VSS from the SR20DET transmission from Japan will read correctly in MPH on a USDM S14 cluster when it is installed on a USDM KA24DE transmission. I hope that clears up any confusion. Same goes for manual S13 VSS.
