speed sensor for 727/A833

[Hemi Rebel]

Just thought i would pass this along for anyone running a torqueflite /A 833 transmission, or even a 42/46 rh/re behind a 3g hemi. Im putting an 18spline behind a 3g and need to generate a speed signal. Im going to use the sensor off an early 90's jeep wrangler. Looks like this


It screws onto the existing speedo gear housing and the cable attaches to it. That way the factory guage still works. I just ordered it. Hope it works. Anyone else tried it? If not, once in and running i will report back

10 bucks!!! I should have looked harder. Is it used?

No, it's new. But it does not have an end for the speedo cable. Should work for a programmable speedo.

I plucked this from the service manual

SPEEDOMETER SYSTEM
AC body vehicles are equipped with electronically
driven speedometer and odometer assemblies. The
unit has the same appearance as a conventional
speedometer but it eliminates the cable-driven me-
chanical system. A signal is sent from a transmission-
mounted distance sensor to the speedometer circuitry
through the wiring harness. By eliminating the
speedometer cable, instrument cluster service and re-
moval is improved. Refer to Fig. 23 Speedometer Di-
agnosis Chart.
