So, the 164 gearbox has a little gear-driven plastic ring & pinion inside of the transaxle that drives a sender of sorts...
What I would like to know is the type of signal that this generates - is it a voltage or a resistance? A digital frequency, or an analog signal? AC or DC current - what?
The 6-speed 156 GTA gearbox that I am installing in my 1995 LS with the 3.45 litre 24 valve motor, has no such sender. Those cars pick up wheel-speed from the ABS sensors and somehow transmits it to the speedometer on the 156.
What we plan to do to get my 164 speedo working with the 156 GTA gearbox, is to tap in to the 164 ABS wheel-speed sensor(s) and then come up with an electronic converter that will send an accurate signal/voltage to the 164 dash to read speed. I need ideas please!
Say, if the 164 gearbox sender actually generates an AC current with voltage that increases as it spins faster and that is how the speedometer is driven, then we need to somehow take that ABS signal and converted it to a variable voltage...
Dito for the ABS signal that I plan to tap - what is it? Analog?
