just lost my speedometer....never skipped or bounced around,just went straight to zero,odometer stopped too. just looking for the best place to start looking for the problem, hate to tear the dash apart to find out it was the vss in the tranny or vice versa any similar problems or ideas let me know thanks

Is the VSS plug still attached to the trans?

Depending on year:
89 and earlier had a cable driven speedo with vss on the speedo.
90+ has a wired sending unit.

If it's 89 and earlier, I bet it's the cable. They are around 20 bucks, I just bought one. You do have to pull the dash apart to install it though. It's kind of a pain.

If it's 90+, make sure the wire is properly connectected at the tranny, if it is, it may be the sending unit itself.

Good luck
