speed sensor noise
96 collectors LT1 w.auto trans. Speed sensor was leaking, instead of
just changing the O ring, I bought a new sensor. No more leaks and the
speedometer seems to be working correctly, but there is this noise at
low speed. 15-35mph. Thought that the sensor was bad, got another
one and the noise is still there. It sounds like a high pitched wine, like
an old chevy 3 speed wine in first gear.
The attachment of this sensor is by a somewhat movable arm on the sensor. If I tighten it down like the original sensor, it tends to put the sensor at a little angle. WAS THERE A SPACER between the mounting plate
and the trans???
Everything seems to work good but the noise is driving me nuts.
As always your help is appreicated. Putz
