I'm glad you finally took a look at it. It's quite simple.
88CRX:
How is me calling the "sensor" in the tranny a sensor, and the actual MANUALS saying that this so called "sensor" is in fact a "sensor" not correct?
Further, if you were to try to purchase this assembly from someone, how would YOU describe it? I'd call it a "speed sensor" and 9/10 people would know what I was looking for.
Yeah, like I said above, the "sensor" that is in/on the tranny NOES NOT convert the signal to an electronic one, it simply spins a cable using gearing, BUT that was never the original question. If it was, I would have explained to you that the actual electronic signal comes from your instrument cluster, after another electronic sensor there which is part of the speedometer determines how fast the cable is spinning and sends a series of electronic pulses to the ECU to tell the ECU how fast you are moving.
Ask what you want to know. Assume nothing, and DEFINITELY don't think that the sensor on the tranny is not removable. It is. The bolt is probably just hidden under a pile of oily road grime which is quite common on these cars after some time.
I'm using my d16a6 speed sensor off the D tranny on my B16 tranny now, and I'll be using a similarly compatible electronic speed sensor with a 95 GSR cluster, since it doesn't use the cable I mentioned that the 4th gen Civic/2nd gen CRX requires.
