You can find a speedometer for a 1990 Ford Probe online at places like Ebay or Amazon. You can also find this speedometer at Rock Auto on the internet.
Bought a used '90 Probe; a dealer repair involved adding transmission oil through the fitting that houses the speedometer cable. On the '90, that was seized; a replacement part was available only from Mazda. (The '90 has a Mazda 5 speed manual transmission.)
According to the 1996 Ford Probe Owner Guide : For the manual transaxle ( transmission ) ( Ford SAE 75W/90 gear oil , meeting Ford specification API GL-4 )
89 to 93 just worked on one.
I had a similar problem on my old 90 Nissan pathfinder and it ended up been a Speedometer cable that broke.
Check fluid level, (90 weight oil)
The 99 tires are much bigger than the 90 tires. With the smaller tires on the 99 you would be going slower than indicated on the speedometer.
replace the speedometer cable only
You need to remove the speedometer sending unit from the transmission - this hole is the hole you put new fluid in. Trace where the speedometer cable (mechanical cable, not electrical) is going, it starts on the firewall behind the dash cluster.
Yes, I believe it is a front wheel drive vehicle. They stopped making rear drive cars in the late 80's and early 90's.
I want to replace the non-working speedometer cable on my 90 subaru legacy are there any free graphics and instructions to show me how to do it and what it looks like and where it is?
Torque in steps. Tighten all bolts in sequence then do next step. Step #1, 16 ft.lbs. (22Nm) Step #2, +90 degree turn Step #3, +90 degree turn
Just FYI it uses GL4 75W-90 Gear Oil. Called Ford Dealer up to get answer since no one here seemed to know.
