wanna ask.. my car got problem.. can't seem to access savoc.net right now as it's under maintenance.. ok so the problem is:
my car's speedometer sometimes shows and sometimes it drops to zero, and when it's at zero while the car's running, car jerks horrendously at 2500-3500k rpm..
this is not ignition coil and magnetic speed sensor problem as i've changed them both.. the jerking happens only when the speedometer shows zero when i'm driving..
do i only have to change the gearbox speed sensor and it'll fix the problem? i'm confounded by the solution because, if that sensor at the gearbox fixes the speedometer in my instrumentation display panel, why can it fix the jerking too? does the ECU directly read the gearbox speed sensor? then why the need for magnetic speed sensor (the normal sensor which i think most savvy owners have changed)

nah i'm using manual.. thanks for the definite solution.. clean it? not sure which one is the plug.. hahahahha.. i know where the whereabouts of the reverse sensor's plug on the gearbox is.. so where's the gearbox speed sensor relative to that? if got pic even better..

thanx hyper dude.. will try to look it up later when the sun shines.. cheers~

yeap i have that too.. but the cost and hassle to repair is beyond my tolerance to hear it once in awhile..
the problem is probably due to the absorber or the driveshaft.. i reckon the first thou..

anyway managed to get my hands on the gearbox speed sensor yesterday and cleaned the tips with a dry cloth and plugged it back in.. the symptom reduced significantly but still happens 5% of the time.. what's the surefire way to clean it up? with running water? i'm thinking decarbonizer and wd-40..
