you dont have the speedodmeter cable set in the transmission right take it back out and as u set it in place turn it till it seats flush on the transmission
It can be done but it would not be cost effective. Better just purchasing another 1995 Escort with a standard transmission.
what would transmission not to shift in to overdrive
A failed seal in the adapter at the transmission.
Sounds like a grenaded transmission
You can do anything you want with money but it would be much cheaper to just buy another escort that is a standard shift.
If the speedometer is not working but the odometer is, I would suspect the dash cluster is at fault. If both speedometer and odometer are not working I would suspect the speed sensor on the transmission is at fault.
Having the speedometer jump and the engine stall in the 1994 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo could be a problem with the idle and the transmission. The transmission slipping can cause the speedometer to jump.
The speedometer cable (which runs from the transmission to the dashboard) has snapped. This is a two-piece cable, and the one-piece cable in later Proteges will not work. I had the transmission replaced, and the cable could never be fit in properly. This is a mechanical speedometer, so you would have to change the entire speedometer part of the instrument panel to use a magnetic/electronic speedometer.
You need to replace the speed sensor on the rear of the transmission.
Linkage adjust
check speedometer cable for possible disconnection; it comes out of firewall and goes to transmission
Probably does not have a speed sensor. It would have a speedometer cable that goes from the back of the speedometer, through the firewall, underneath the car, and into the transmission.
