1989 Cruse control speed sensor mfg by MassTech

[89conv]

My cruise stoped working and the engine light came on. After running the tests it showed up as the speed sensor, which is located betweend the cable from the trans and the cable to the speedo. It joins the two cables together and has two wires that plug into the harness. I was told that the sensor is a after market product used by Avanti Motors. The only ID is the word Mass Tech. Does any one know where to find one like this or something else that may work.

GM calls that part the transducer. It may be the same part used on Corvettes (I replaced one on a '78 Vette). Look at Corvette Central, Eckler's, Corvette America websites for C3 and C4 generation Corvettes and see if the part looks the same. I believe they came in 2- and 3-wire applications. I don't know if it is, but it may work equally well since you have a GM engine and transmission. A transducer runs about $100 depending on where you get it from.

I replaced mine in my 84 with a 700R4 transmission with one for a Camero two wire. I t worked fine but was a little close to install.

Charlie, thanks for the info. Did yours screw betweened the trans cable and the speedo cable? Was it a GM new or used and what year. This is a Mass Tech . I do not care what it is if it works.

Thanks

The part is called a VSS - vehicle speed sensor. May be GM, I would check with Chevrolet for donor car.
