My speedometer reading became erratic and then went to ZERO. I removed the Speed sensor and turned it manually with a flat blade screwdriver- I got a readout on the instrument panel.



I reinstalled the speed sensor andspun the front wheel (in the forward direction) - No reading. I turned the front wheel in a reverse direction and the speedometer readout is correct.



I believe I need to replace the Speedometer Gear Box Assembly. I looked up the part number and found TWO numbers for this part. I've listed the P/N's below.



QUESTION 1 - What is the difference between these two part numbers?



QUESTION 2 - Any tips on replacing this assembly?



Thanks for any help!

Hey Wingman,

I agree - it's just as important to discover the cause of a problem as it is to fix it.

My speed sensor turns easily - I may just have material fatigue, but I'll know more after I remove the front wheel.
