Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Maintenance and Repair / November 2005Nissan speed sensor removal
I want to check the transaxle fluid level on my 95 200SX with manual xmission (there is some evidence of a leak and second gear is getting balky in cold weather). My crappy Haynes book implies that you remove the speed sensor to do this. I removed the hold-down screw and can twist the thing around but it won't come out. Is there some trick to getting the thing out and how much fluid is enough? There should be a fill plug on the side of the transmission. I can't see why you would need to remove the speed sensor.

On my Festiva (Mazda engine) you also have to remove the speedometer cable to check the fulid level or add fluid. There is a screw-on ring holding the cable to the plate and then a bolt holding the plate the cable goes though to the transmission. Both have to be undone. I used slip-joint pliers to loosen the ring and a socket to remove the bolt. It's very tight spot to work on my car. The procedure was described well in the Haynes manual for the car. I aksed here if there would be any surprizes before putting metal to metal. > There should be a fill plug on the side of the transmission. I can't see why > you would need to remove the speed sensor.

There's a fill plug on the front side. I guess the Haynes bozos couldn't find it either. |
