Electric vs Mechanical Spedo

[bany95]

First of all, correct me if I'm wrong but our cars (94-95) use a mechanical spedo, right?

I am looking at installing an autometer electric spedo, so is there any simple way to make an electric spedo work in our mechanical cars?


If I were to swap the transmission for an electric spedo T56, is this going to give me any major issues with the PCM (that can't be corrected with a simple re-program). The computer is taking a speed measurement for the ABS as well as the top speed limiter, but if I don't need ABS or the limiter.....


Thanks in Advance :thumb:

SN95s have an electronic speedo. Fox cars use a mechanical.

speedcal EXT would solve the t56 issues. not sure on the aftermarket unit.

94/95's have gears in the tranny & the speedometer so I always thought we had a mechanical setup too, but there is an electronic interface module that actually runs the speedo...hehe, I guess we have a hybrid!

its mechanicaly driven, but electronically signaled... I had no idea until I did my clutch cable.... and I say a plug on my speed sensor.

I was like..wtf?! :dunno:
