The speedometer cable connection is on the transmission tail shaft housing, drivers side. They went electric (no cable) in 1988 in the trucks.

1980 el camino with a 1990-93 gmc v6 engine and transmission your question is how do you get the speedometer to read and also how do you get the transmission to show what gear it is in?

If the transmission a computer shifting transmission, then you need to hook up the eltronic speed sensor to be able to read speedometer. The gear reading is on the dash column, in which a wire hooks to the steering column.

Why would the Speedometer cable for 1998 GMC Savanna Van not work?

in newer vehicles such as yours it doesn't have a speedometer cable, its all electronic in place of the cable theirs a sensor on the transmission on the drivers side behind the shifting bracket, your sensor is probably bad, or even worse the gauge cluster may be bad. Its not like it used to be just replace 1 gauge, or a cheap cable it a expensive sensor or a even more expensive gauge cluster


You have a 92 gmc vandura and occasionally the speedometer shuts off and then it wont shift into the higher gears you am told this is a speed sensor issue is it If so where is the speed sensor located?

I have a '87 GMC Rally STX van, but I think the vehicle speed sensor is similar; The sensor is located just behind the speedometer in the instrument cluster on the dashboard. You access it by removing the instrument panel (carefully). You will need to disconnect the speedometer wire and the electric socket before pulling the instrument cluster out. The vehicle speed sensor is a very simple and reliable component. Not likely to fail. From what you say about the speedometer 'shutting off', I would be inclined to think there is something wrong with the speedometer wire. This component won't last for ever and is probably worn out. Unless your transmission is electronically controlled (don't think the '92 models were), I don't think replacing the speedometer wire will address your transmission problem. I believe that is sorted out within the automatic transmission unit. The TV-cable must be intact and correctly adjusted for the transmission to shift correctly. The TV-cable connects the throttle with the gear-box. Hope this is helpful information.

Possibly a bad vehicle speed sensor (VSS). This sensor is usually located in the side of the transmission.
