it may be your instrument cluster according to a mechanic i talked to.if it is let me know im having the same problem
Sure, many automatic cars already have a tach.
That truck came factory with a 700R4 transmission. And that has overdrive in it already.
not usually,sometimes you get lucky and it will for a while. most of the time if a transmission has started to slip the damage is already done.
Output speed sensor is bad. Changed already
It depends on what Fiero SE you own. There are two types. The earlier SE models, '84-'86, used a 85 mph speedometer for the four cylinder engine. It would not be until the '87 V6 model that the SE cars received the 120 mph "GT", as it's called, speedometer assembly. If you already have a 120 mph speedometer in your Fiero SE, it will work just fine. If it's the 85 mph speedometer, it will not, and would read incorrectly until you perform the necessary modifications to make it act like a 120 mph speedometer should.
It will default to second whenever the trans computer has detected a problem and set a code. You will need to have the transmission codes checked. It could be electrical or an internal trans problem.
The speedometer signal comes from the rear axle abs sensor. The PCM has nothing to do with it. You need to check the wiring from the rear axle to the abs computer.
Well, a Tachometer in general tells you the RPM of a motor or other such engine. As for something handheld, from what I have seen they would mostly be employeed to engines that are not mounted into a car already as a means of testing their capacity or after some series of tests that can better determine condition or wear or such. Most cars have them mounted into their dashboards to my understanding, to give a reading while on the go.
The speedometer should already have klicks on it. Just look for the blue numbers under the white. If you want to change the whole thing I suggest you find a junkyard in Canada that will ship you one. They are pretty easy to switch out.
We had a speedometer problem it was the key that locked the speedometer driver gear to the transmission output shaft. The key was broke had to pull the rear housing on the transmission to get to the gear. Yea you have to pull the transmission. Ez
Any manual shift transmission is going to be considered "standard shift". The question is moot - you already have a standard transmission.
You could, but you'd have to adjust your speedometer, and you'd also have to change your gear ratio if you wanted to maintain similar performance to what you had already.
