jdlc Posted November 8, 2008 Report Share Posted November 8, 2008 bump!!! please help i am trying to finish this all tomorrow!!! pras i know you have something that will help out!!!!mikeHey mike, my car is like that. My 94 has 98 AT tranny, and the speedo was tapped into the ds abs wire.Look for Corey posts, and I'll also see if I can find my notes (I redid his wiring because it was all f'ed up and I was getting Orange Arrow due to loose connection).Your 17psi ecu is still rockin' my 855 btw, lol.- OrleeCedit: and don't bother Pras, he's busy copying over porns from his external to NAS, lol.

flyfishing3 Posted November 8, 2008 Report Share Posted November 8, 2008 not exactly what you want mike but i found this.If this is for a 95 850, you must get a 93-95 transmission, not the 96-97 850 transmissionss. The reason being is that the 93-95 tranny provides the speedometer signal, and the 96-97 do not (the ABS controller, which is different, does). If you were to install a 96-97 model into your 95 you would have to get very crafty on how to figure out how to rewire to get back the speedometer signal. It has been done, but save yourself a hassle and find a 93-95 transmission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing i noticed at first was that the speedo needle is pretty sturdy if that makes any sense at all. "And yeah, I own this car now.Make sure to solder good the connection, then waterproof it by applying 'liquid' tape and such.Corey did it with twisty, and elements corroded the exposed aluminum node/connection and causing loose contact.- OrleeC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
