How do I change out the speed sensor??


Recommended Posts

Hi folks. First posting on the board. It has been a big help to me.

I have a 97 Outback, speedo and cruise are out and CEL is on, ordered a VSS from 1rstsubaru, it should arrive tomorrow. Got under there today with a 17 mm to see how tight it might be, and, well, it is seriously on there. Wondering if there is a trick to this seemingly easy swap, or do I just muscle it off. Don't want to strip it.

Any help/advice is much appreciated.

Also, if it really IS the VSS, then I'll have a speedo cluster from a 97 auto for sale with 87K on it that I bought from a salvage yard before I read here that if the cruise is out too, then it's the VSS. $50 plus shipping.

Thank you!

Any idea if it'll fit my '99 2.2 5spd? I have a blank instead of a tach, kind of miss having a tach.

You can get one from these guys for $100

Hollander is showing an interchange from 97 to 99 but they are broken out by Outback, GT and L. Must be the different size wheel/tire. Perhaps you can just use the tach and use your own speedo?

 

my 2 cents,

Greg
