Speed Sender (VSS)
Hello
I have a type 9 box and machanical speedo but my ecu needs a VSS input or it logs a fault and puts the check engine light on.
Does anyone know of an inline speed sender that will fit in line on a type 9 gearbox speedo cable.
Thanks

The Ford 2.9i XR4 x4 has a VSS in the speedo cable, which you could include in yours. There is also another Ford, cant remember which one, that has a
VSS fixed at the end of the speedo cable near the bulkhead. Hope that helps. atb Chippy

My Dad's 2WD, 'E' reg, 2.9i Granada, had one. Had Type 9 manual gearbox.

Hi,
Most FWD fords have a VSS that just screws on the end of the speedo cable between cable and gearbox. I'm pretty shore it should be the same
thread as type 9 gearbox.

Can't help with the Brantz item but the FWD Ford unit that screws on will not fit as the type nine speedo cable is held in with a circlip . Late
manual Granadas have a VSS ,not sure if you will have enough clearance between box and chassis though
