Last night I noticed my speedo was bouncing around a bit from 55-60 mph on my 95 sport 4.0 4x4. Today, after about 30 min of driving, it really started acting up. Sometimes, while doing 40 or so mph, it will drop to 0 and stay there.
Now, the O/D light has started flashing (12 times if that means anything). It always occurs when accelerating from a stop. The speedo stays at 0 while I accelerate and the rpms climb to about 3000 (normally it's already shifted around 2000-2500). Then speedo decides to work, jumps to 30ish, the tranny shifts hard, and the OD light starts flashing.
From what I've read on this web site so far, I'm lead to believe that it's not a transmission problem, but speedo problem. Something about the transmission relying on the speed sensor to calculate shifts.
I'm I right and if so, is it as simple as replacing the speed sensor, or could there be any other underlying problems as well?
Your thoughts?
Thanks
