There is a recall on the instrument cluster for erratic gauge problems.If you didn`t get a letter then call your dealership and give them your vehicle identification number and ask them if there are any open recalls on it.What they do is type in your V.I.N.to their computer and they will tell you if your truck is involved.The problem is the instrument cluster.The cluster has to be programmed to your V.I.N.when it is replaced.Your V.I.N.has all the information that your vehicle is equipt with.Good luck.

Whats wrong with Helen?

The speed sensor might be bad. I used to own a 99 Mitsubishi Eclipse with the same symptons. The car will start, but will not pass the 1st or 2nd gear, the speedometer will be at 0. I replaced the speed sensor and all the problems went away.

1998 subaru legacy 2.2 engine problems

Yes.
The speed sensor in the transmission gives the computer data to control fuel mixture and timing, and it also drives the speedo and odometer.
The sensor would need to be tested.

1998 Ford Windstar 3.8...a few problems... 1) drive belt keeps slipping off 2) smoking coming from under hood on side of engine where belt is, temp gauge not showing hot and smelling a bit like...

Hi, 1 & 2 sounds like you need a water pump.
3: probably the vehicle speed sensor has packed up.
4: could be a number of things, vacuum leak or maybe idle air control valve
5: replace switch.

I can provide specifics on any and all of these depending an what you want to tackle.
Why don't you replace the water pump first, as that may make it drivable. Would you like instructions for replacing the water pump?

water pump is $80
speed sensor is $35
turn switch is $56

Thanks for using FixYa

(3.2 v6)odometer not working, gas gauge also acting funny. the rpm feels like we are in 2 or 3 gear when we are not.

dear friend-it sounds like your vehicle went into limp mode,you can disconnect the battery in order for the ECU to reset,then if the vehicle feels ok then take it for a diagnostic test

Odometer is not working

The output speed sensor maybe unpluged. Its the sensor on the side of the trans that is closest to the left tire. It will have 2 wires in the connector.
