I just got a new engine installed, but my speedometer isn't working...where is the wire that controls that, im thinking its not connected. Its on the tranny isn't it????

yes on the transmission....the plug is probably not plugged in. take out the battery & tray and you should be able to see it.

4th gear, 5krpm????

How fast is that?

"DOHC 5 speed"

90+ i'd say. not sure though... But ~5k in 3rd is 80 or so.

that leads me to a question, I have a 92 300gt SL. The speedometer works but frequently "bounces" up and down about 10 miles per hour when i hit a bump. Sometimes it registers about 170mph when im going around 60. It seems as if something is occasionally getting caught somewhere. If I slap the dash it fixes itself sometimes. Anyone know whats wrong and how I would go about fixing it? Thanks

I would pull the cable and check it. Also check the guage and the worm gear in the tranny.

i've got a '93 SL, and my speedo sits at about -10mph at a full stop. at 55, i've been paced at 65 by my wife in her new pickup. at 65 on mine, she's doing 85. this didn't bother me until i remembered coming back from Tennessee through North Carolina doing 80-90 for about 6 or 7 hours straight. so that would come out to what... about 120 or so?? and everyday i thank the good Lord for watching over me on that one!! but man was that a great ride!! funny how i can drive pretty much anywhere with the ECS on Sport, but as soon as i hit Virginia Beach, i can't take the bumps.

Anyway. Does anybody know how much it would cost to get that calibrated / fixed before my court date in February for doing 65 in a 45?

"but really, Officer, my speedo only said 45!! Honest!! maybe it's off a little, i dunno..."

When I got mine it said I was doing - 45 at a full stop!
i just removed the front plastic glass and pulled off the needle (sp) and placed it a zero. I don't know if it was the best to do but I now run 5 faster than what it reads. I have heard this is because of the improper worm gear.
