Perfect Fit - Replacement Parts

Used this on my 1988 Ford E250 where the OEM sensor had worn to the point where it couldn't hold the wire. It was perfect, the cable snapped into place, alignment was exactly as it should be. Dorman does it again!

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for seniors

It works fine but: Transmission speed

I had a problem installing the retaining clip that holds the speedo cable in the speed sensor. I destroyed two clips in the process and ended up using a piece of .060 gauge safety wire in place of the clip. The speedometer is not inserted deep enough for the clamping gap to fit properly. The rest of the device works perfectly. 1991 Ford Ranger.

Pros
  • Great for a small house
Cons
  • Something else

Speedo cable does not fit sensor

On a 1990 Mustang GT my speedo cable does not fit the hole in the end of the sensor. I bought another speed sensor from Advanced Autoparts that looks exactly the same and it worked. I measured the cable hole depth on the original sensor and that and the original sensor hole are deeper and the same as Advanced Autoparts.

Pros
  • cool product
Cons
  • ---

Worked great - baud rate

1989 f-150. This speed sensor worked well, but the only complaint is that the clip that holds the cable in it didn't fit properly. I just zipped it in a little and it works great BUT the other way around your speedometer kinda spins backwards so watch out. My speedo cable didn't fit like I hoped, but it works! Be sure to keep the plastic gear and holder away from the old sensor, you will need it, it's just a bare sensor.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Can't remember
