So about a month ago I got my manual swap done at a shop. The speed sensor hadn't arrived then and I needed the car so I picked up the car and they told me they'd install it when the sensor came a few days later.

The sensor came and they installed it, but then there was a problem. They told me that there was a gear that was attached to the sensor and it's not working properly (i'm guessing the new speed sensor didnt' come with the gear?) and so it's still giving me false mph. (reads double).

So I'm still waiting for them to let me know when they get the gear in (told me it was backordered) but i find it fishy that the one that was already there doesn't work. Also, where can i find this "gear" and does anyone have a pic of the s.sensor and the gear? I have no idea how it looks like. I'm getting tired of waiting and my odo going up like 3x as fast.

basically if anyone could shed some light on the speed sensor and the gear and where to find one would help me out a lot...thanks guys.

You need the sensor or the gear?

There is 2 different gears (identified by color) fo the 240sx depending the wheel size

You need to use the speed sensor that matches your gauge cluster. I have a s14 with a s13 manual tranny. I had to get an s14 speed sensor because the s13 sensor made the speed show double.

Anyone know where to get the gear? I bought the S14 speed sensor from autozone and the S13 and the auto gears both don't work on the sensor
