Tranny speed sensor

[SMOKIN 6]

I am in the process of purchasing a 2005 manual tranny ssr. The check engine lite is on and I'm told it's a faulty transmission speed sensor. Does this make sense? what is the function of a speed sensor in a manual transmission?
They also tell me the device is on back order.

Can anyone shed a little light on this??

The sensor is on the tail part of the transmission.

I will check on the Back order part.


Vehicle Speed Sensor Replacement
Removal Procedure




Remove the harness connector.
Remove the bolt (2).

Install the O-ring seal (3) on the vehicle speed sensor (1).
Coat the O-ring seal (3) with a thin film of transmission fluid.

These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.

It has input for speedo , cruise, ABS, Traction control, It is a data source
for speed input to the computer. Will Hurt? May be , May not.
Best to get it changed 1st. What is the Vin number of this Truck. I can check
to see if it is under warranty still.

Where are you located?

I'll get the vin tomorrow. I'm located in florida and the ssr is at car max in Sanford. The car has under 19K and they told me it's still under warentee. Are you a GM dealer? could you overnight the part if I get contact information? It sounds to me like I should not drive it until it's fixed.
