Ah! So you're saying the Speed Transducer is fitted into the gearbox?
I couldn't find it on my CDs so thanks for that. :O)) However it's
getting bl**dy cold and damp here so will have to wait until the local
garage is in a generous mood to put it up on a lift. Will report back
when checked.

No cable=no signal to the in-dash VSS=CEL.

Ummm. Maybe too much jargon for me :O((
VSS?
CEL? (Check Engine Light?)

Hi, Kim. Yesterday I managed to persuade the local garage to put the
car up on a ramp. I had prepared what the sensor looked like from a
Subaru Manual CD 'sketch' which turned out to be useless :O(( Anyway
we, the fitter and I could only find three transducers on the gearbox,
one on the top and two smaller ones. The two smaller ones have a plus
& socket connector, the larger one just a cable. We checked and
cleaned the 'free' connectors but the problem is still there - no
speedo at all! (It completely failed about a week ago)
Any idea which one is the vehicle speed sensor?

I have a different speedo problem.

I have an MY08 Outback and the speedo is reading 15% higher than my actual
speed, measured by GPS and by roadside radar testing units we have here in
Australia.

Does anyone know if this can be adjusted by the dealer? I would imagine that
fitting different tyres could influence this and require adjustment if it is
measured by counting wheel or gearbox element rotation.

Thnaks, Geoff
