Well, it won't show that you swap the speed (no seal broken ro things like that). But, there might be a serial number on the part that has to match the car, but I doubt it. Anyways, have you ever seen someone get the cluster of to check before purchasing a car? Personnally, I don't care because i won't sell the car naytime soon and if I do sell it, the buyer won't care all that much about mileage.

It's only fraud if you don't tell the buyer what you did.....but omitting a few 10k on the way will be very hard to prove.

Just don't do it like right before/after you take it in to get registered or the plates licensed. If they see that last year your tib had 100,000 miles and a year later it's at 60,000 they might not like that.

i haven't noticed any loose grounds, and i checked the fuses. warranty? i have one of those? j/k...too many miles and a tranny swap. i'm not dealing with a dealer on that. i looked at car-parts.com and found some used ones, so i'm going to call some junkyards tomorrow, and i've seen two on ebay. i'm not worried about milage indescrepancies. if i ever do sell it, which i don't plan on, i'll tell the guy...i'm honest.

hold on... tranny swap? As the sensor for the speedo runs off of the tranny, is there a difference between stick and auto sensors?

there isn't a difference. the whole point is that it ran fine for about 3 years until one of the three pins on the sensor broke off.

Check the connector for good tight connections. Make sure the pins have good contact with their connectors.

EDIT: Also, there just might be a difference in the two trannies' sensors. Check if they have the same part numbers to be absolutely sure.

technotib, do you know where those harness side connectors (a, b, and c) are? the connector on the speed sensor is a three pin plug.
