In terms of swapping out the gear, the new VSS’ I saw online look different than what I have. Mine doesn’t have the retaining clip, and the gear is smaller. I don’t want to break it if its not meant to be removed. I saw that the folks at yotashop sell the gear without instructions on how to replace it.
I found this complete VSS on ebay which is exactly what I have on my car.
Many of the VSS online look thicker or attach at a different point.
I'll report back on the diagnosis. Thanks again |
I fully understand.
When I bought mine, I first went to Honda for an OEM part number, then went to NAPA to cross reference and then finally to Amazon. I went with Amazon because they were $40 cheaper than the one NAPA had in stock but I went to NAPA first with the old sensor anyway to visually compare that I had the right part number before pulling the trigger with the online retailer.
Of course, with all that prep, I was still guessing it was the VSS since I had no code and was happy when a new sensor was the correct solution. Obviously, I'm completely guessing that it is the VSS on your rig. An instrument cluster failure (or the wiring to it) would be uncommon but not out of the question. I wish you the best and hope it is an easy solution (the fuse or the sensor.)
