Speedo transducer mounting/fitting

[mdotrutherford]

Have attempted to replace my transducer today and it is well and truly seized up in the mounting due brass and ali corroded together, have removed mounting from diff and soaked in penetrating fluid for another attempt later.

I would suspect everyone who has had to do this has probably had the same problem, any suggestions please all ?
I reckon its going to have to be a new fitting required and as its Saturday most lines of enquiry calling stockists is obviously out.

I had exactly the same problem. I spen hours trying to he it sorted, without success. Pop down to Racing Green and get a new set. It didn't cost a fortune, and was easily fitted. Must catch up with you soon

Hey David thanks for the reply mate, I was just needing that confirmation that I can easily get another mount before - well you know, the inevitable I guess .............

I'll be over once Im up and running

Mine was the same when my sensor packed up.
I took the mounting bracket off stuck it in the vice and heated with blow lamp.
Unscrewed it with a pair of stillsons. Cleaned out the thread then fitted new sensor.
Just be careful you don't over heat the bracket as it's only ally.
Cheers.

Thanks for the reply Paul, I did acheive after some serapticiuos (sic) cutting drilling sawing and chiseling - wow all that bench fitting took me back years! The bracket lives again.

is this as a result of your speedo/mileometer not working? as i have that problem at the mo,where is the transducer located?

Looking at your other post and having the earlier GKN diff I believe you need this one, as it says still mounted on the diff

That said I would have it out with the gararge that did your repair beforehand
