Last I remember back in in the IRC days of fiero meets, he was in Florida.

He had a neat cheat sheet about the speed and tire sizing for the different colour GM VSS gears.

If anyone knows where that "cheat sheet" went or can contact Pendragon about it. Could ya please forward the info to me.

Hey Capt, I'm finally making a post here! Haven't heard from Mark in some time now but he was kind enough to send me all the info he saved, rather printed. Those IRC and list days, have I been around that long? In the stack of printed material is this email but easier still I have it in electronic format already. Archived all the lists from back in the day, knew something would come in handy for someone....

-Nicholas.

Awesome and Thank you. I have unfortunatly came to the conclussion that I am going to have to replace the entire tranny due to the drive gear in the tranny.

VSS works great, spin it with a drill and the speedo and ECM see spead, but put the VSS in the tranny and no more speedo. So we can only assume that the dive for the VSS inside the tranny is broken or of some other problem.

I am at this time looking for tranny #7 for this car. This time I think is going to have to be a getrag.

Do or he think anyone will care if I revive this and put it back on the net.
