Electronic speed sensor

Post by Ptoneill »

I am looking at putting an electronic speed sensor on my 79 with the TH180 automatic transmission. I am not familiar with this process although I did see several different ways to accomplish this. One is an adaptor to the outpost using the port the speedo cable leaves the transmission, can I still use the cable for the speedo? The second is a magnet assembly that goes around the drive shaft.

The drve shaft one looks simple, however it is diameter specific...does anyone know the exact diameter of the 124's driveshaft?

Thanks
Stay Safe,

I just measured the short shaft, between guibo and bearing, at 70mm (2.75")
