I'm about to do a VSS rebuild and wondered if anyone had any pointers? ...or even better yet....alternate part numbers that fit and feed signals like o.e.? What prices are you seeing for these?

Vehicle speed sensor.....it's located on the final output behind the e brake drum. I found a pdf online how to rebuild them, but I have yet to attempt it. The part listed showed for like $180+. I figure it won't hurt to try the rebuild first.

would have never guessed it was rebuildable. go to know anyways.

I just found an alternate Airtex 5S4822 ...going for about 130 on ebay. So there's an option.

Bizzare decided to check out this forum to see if I could glean some additional information... There is another forum I have been frequenting that has been a great help.

I have not used this but I have added it to my knowledgebase just in case.

It's a complete writup of how to rebuild the VSS in d1's
