vss

I've got a bad VSS (Vehicle Speed Sensor) on my 1996 4.0 with an M5R1 5-Speed but the only info I can seem to find is the VSS for the automatic which, I'm under the impression, is mounted on the transmission tail shaft. On mine the VSS is mounted on the transfer case just above the Transfer Case...

5r55e in a 1995 Explorer XLT 4x So the short version of a long story is I paid a small fortune to have my tranny rebuilt after it burned up. I had them put in a shift kit, aux cooler, and HD clutches. Basically I asked them to 'give me the works'... and it wasn't cheap. About 13 months later...

I have performed a swap from a 5R55W Auto Transmission (Stock 2006 Ford Explorer Auto) to a M05D-R1HD Manual (From Ford Ranger). The new manual transmission has a VSS in the tail housing has 12-holes. The stock OSS from my auto had 24-holes. I've adjusted the "number of holes in OSS" in my SCT...

1991 Explorer, manual trans, 4x4. In tracking down some running issues with my engine I kept getting a memory Code 29 insufficient input from the vehicle speed sensor. I would clear the memory code and it would always come back. Also it would not give a speed reading on my code scanner, it...

First clue: During a couple of snow storms last winter, felt like tranny was intermittently downshifting. Occurred most often around 50-55mph and approx 1600 rpm. Now feels like torque converter is intermittently locking/unlocking under light to medium load all gears. Feels like going over...
