Hi mate..

Well ive pulled the sensor out of the box and it looks fine..
Ive got my mate to drive the car at walking speed and i can see the plug in the actual gearbox housing is working fine...Ive attatched the lug from the sensor to a drill and even at a constant speed (with the drill) the speedo is all over the place just cant get a contsant reading...Sounds to me like ill be getting a new sensor from subaru on monday and trying that..Unless someone knows the voltage readings i can use on the plug to get certain speeds?..

Not sure about the 4.5k thing it only started doing it today..

gavin..
