2G Speed sensor Installation

[naydizzle]

Hi everybody,

So i'm in the process of replacing the gear in my speed sensor, since my speedometer didn't work when i bought my 1998 GSX awd 5speed about a week ago. I pulled the sensor, found there was no gear on it to start with (weird). So i bought a new gear and put it inside the sensor, but now when i try to put it back in the car it won't fit inside correctly/I can't get the bolt to hold the sensor on?

I just don't know if there's anything special I have to do to get the sensor to fit back in again. Do I have to turn something or something to get the gear from the sensor and the gear from the trans to match up? or something like that? Let me know as soon as you can, this is the only thing stopping me from getting this car registered and on the road!

I had bought a sensor and put the gear out and put it In but it still won't work

Any chance you put the gear on upside down? I have changed the speed sensor many times but I have never removed the gear from one.

The sensor gears run from side to side, so it will not insert like batter,.

When you are inserting the sensor in, move the sensor side to side, turn it from one side to another and keep applying a little force while you turning it and moving it, do it like this and it will start to get in easier.

Edit,

There is no way you can put the gear upside down, the gear has only one way to be inserted to the sensor.

If you were able to attach the gear to the sensor and insert the safety pin, then you are good in that part.
