well my speedo was not working at all after i pulled the tranny, but i got it working again, when i dropped the trany i forgot the speed sensor was still i n there, so the trany was half out before i relized it, but qicly removed it, i figured no harm no foul, so when i got my tranny back in i was suprized to see it not working, so then i tested the VSS worked fine, then the cable, worked fine, so to folow the natural progression, the next logicical step was to check the gauge cluster, i pulled it out and saw that the speedo cable was yanked out of the crimped coupler, no harm no foul, yea right, so i stuck a screw driver in ther to widen it and recrimped it put it on and worked great, but i still have to reset the ECU and see if im still done with the code 17, thanks for the help though
