Shifting Normal! 900 1993

Installed a replacement speedo head and all is now normal.
This problem was caused by an incorrect digital signal from the speedo to the TCM. The frequency of the pulses which inform the TCM about speed were exactly half what they should have been. I discovered this by running TCM test 5 with the rear wheels off the ground. If speedo said 30 mph the test results said 15. Throughout all my work diagnosing the problem I never had a fault code form the TCM, had there been no speed signal at all there would have been a code. In this case the signal was present it was just giving a false speed.

I wonder how many owners have paid to have a new TCM or worse still a transmission rebuild for such a simple to fix problem.
