So I realized really late what I had missed when replacing my trans that had a blown Pinion. Now I have this issue. I have to erase the VSS code and cycle the key every time till the next drive cycle It happens again. My options.........

-Open it up again and see if the VSS driven gear is actually there to mate with the plastic sender gear
-convert speedo to GPS but I might still have a CEL and Fan issue.
-Dakota Digital speedo Interface............;) THis seems like the smartest solution for $80.

Anyone have experience with the DD interface? I have all the ABS sensors attatched and working.

when my 04 5mt failed I found a good deal on a 2012 5mt the doesn't that the VSS hole in the transmission bored out.
On my front left hub I cut 5 teeth in to the CV joint bearing cup. Then used a $20 industrial prox sensor wired to the VSS signal. Dash speedometer and ECU work perfect.
Let me know if you want more information.

I got this fancy hub block off that has ABS ring attatced to it. But if all I need is a axle stub to chop up :)

So what year is your ECU and cluster? Mine is '06
Maybe some help choosing the sensor would be much appreciated

Hey Mac1
Here is the sensor I used:
Part # EZ-M12-MPNNO-NMW

Here is how it is wired. Top is new prox, bottom is the original gear driven part.

My ecu and cluster are out of 04FXT. Anything 02-07 impreza or forester should be the same.

I ended up fixing my speedo with this device.
Only starts to work at 20mph but cured my issue completely.
