Im not sure, but isn't there a sensor on or by the tranny for the speedo?
Do any of the other gauges work?
Look at it this way, your not putting any miles on the car :laugh:

the miles do keep goin its just the actual tachometer i meant i guess....that measures how fast you are going...the btich just stopped working!!

 

[luv2rallye]

Well which is it - the tach or the speedo?

 

[BigLGST]

the speedometer is not working, the tachometer works, the mileage still keeps rolling on my counter....i think i will double check....but the speedometer for sure is not functioning!!

 

[BigLGST]

Ok jus checked again...the odometer has stopped working as well... i didnt notice but its not counting miles....and its not readin RPM as well....had a clutch done about 3 weeks, perhaps something wasnt put in tight and fell loose???

Most likely they forgot (um...like always cause they have to rush through things or be fired?) to reconnect the vehicle speed sensor connector. For a GST it sticks out the top of the tranny as far back as you can go (above and rear of the driveshafts).

The sensor's unplugged on the transmission. Mine likes to wander off about every two months (former gorilla mechanic broke the catch).

If that plug is unhooked, than the miles wouldn't be rolling. He said the trip meter and the mileage was still rolling on.

Best bet is to change your speedo.

yes that is what happened to me too. but its ok we have pretty set RPM speeds you should be fine.

 

[BigLGST]

i should be fine but i hate when little shit like this breaks down. I went underneath the hood but couldnt find that cable to save my life. I swear I looked everywhere but I cant see jack! Talked to some1 that said if I take of the UICP I should see it, but I havent had a chance to take it off, I most likely tomorow I will take it off and look or maybe ill post a pic see if some1 cant point me to where its at

 

[kreepscort]

yes, taking out th uicp would help out ALOT... the sensor is around the transfer case, with a rectangular conecter and i think its brown, hope that helps.

 

[BigLGST]

Ok i took the UICP off and I couldnt find shit...I dont know where it is or anything so I took some pics and Im wondering if perhaps you guys could help me point it out from the attached pics. let me know if you need better ones cuz this is what i got so far...

None of your pics show it due to too much stuff above it (although the 3rd one is close). See that white paper band around the shift cable? Go rearward another 6 inches and it's below that. Here's some pics:
