Speedo Cable

[94pathfinder]

Ok do i'm going through the process of swapping the automatic transmission with another replacement, and the replacement one i have has a manual speedo cable, and the one i'm in the process of pulling out has and electronic one, they should just swap right out with each other right?

 

Thanks in advance

yes, they should swap easily. To be 100% sure, you can count the teeth on the gear and see if it matches. If it doesnt, just swap the gears. They way it "bolts up" shoudl be the same.

I thought the gear didn't come off the saft. anyway, I Know for the manual units the tooth count was for calibration of gear and tire ratio to speed. each speedo gear housing whas offset drilled differantly so that they lined up right when you interchange. The elctronic spedo gear should slip in the same way but I don't know if there were differant tooth counts or if the speedo was calibrated electronically.

The old Nissan Motorsports catalogs used to list different speedo sensor gears that you could swap out to help correct your speedo. Now, this was several years ago at best, and I have been searching for an old catalog, but its been tough. yes, you could remove the tailhousing on the transfer case and removed the drive gear on the output shaft and reinstall it as well, if they are different. Not tough, just more work.
