Speedometer cable tranmition

I do not believe there is a speedometer cable in a 1992 Olds. I think that you have a speed sensor that transmits to the speedometer via two wires. The speed sensor is mounted near the drive shaft where two magnets transmit rotation speed to the sensor.

Id say its a loose connection or the meter might need to be replaced.

i dont think the two things are related check your speedo cable inner cable could be frayed or kink on outer cable if not disconect cable from speedo end and lube it

HI. If your speedometer needle doesn't move, or if it flutters, your speedometer cable may be bad.

To determine if it is the cable, disconnect the cable casing from the transmission and from the back of the speedometer on the instrument panel. Draw the cable out from inside of the casing. The cable looks like a twisted piece or wire. If the cable is broken or if it is dry or brittle. It probably needs to be replaced. If the cable is intact and the same length as the cable casing, the problem is likely the speedometer head.

I would also advise to check the speedometer gear as well.

The speedometer gear is located on the output shaft. Inspect it for damage.

This gear rarely suffers damage because the gear from the speedometer that meshes with it is usually made of a softer material. Sometimes, the speedometer gear on the main-shaft is replaceable. A clip can hold it in place or it can be a pressed fit. A special puller is available to pull these gears on the car.

Remove the speedometer cable and manually turn the cable inside the covering. If the cable turns then the problem is in the transmission. There is a small gear where the cable connects inside the transmission that wears out. Once it does you lose the speedometer. Have this gear replaced or replace it yourself and it should resolve your problem.

This is all to common a post for your van, read it over and over again, there are class action law suits over this transmission having so many failures, if any money has been paid out i can't say, buy u will need to have the trans removed and torn down and overhauled to correct this problem

try looking at the book theres a cable from the transmit ion to the speedometer and it could be a bad connection or theres a gear in you're trans that spins and tells how fast you're going sometime those go out haven't had that problem yet but i built my truck from the ground up

if the pinion bearings in the gearbobx are worn they can chew up the drive wheel in the gearbox for the speedometer
