4l80e VSS connection - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

like the title says, how are y'all getting a vss singnal from your 4l80e? Can I just splice in a different connector? Do I just need a differenct speed sensor for the trans?

My swap details are:
2011 camaro ss
M6 to 4l80e
Manual VB
Late model 4l80e core

I was hoping the wheel speed sensors would take over in lieu of the trans VSS. The only issue is I am running 26" fronts and 28" rears so I think that could be part of what is going on. I will prob put my stock rims and tires on the front and see if that helps. I figured I would post here for other ideas...since I would like to keep my 26" fronts for better tires choices.

Thank you,

Paul

Thank you both. I did read that and the issues is I am using jake's MVB box...not an optishift or other trans controller like diet coke did. I know I could buy the optishift box (or other) if needed to get it all working but I was hoping there is another way.

Same here --- IDENTICAL! --- I know this has been done (by a few) and just wish we could get those to chime in .... I did have speedo working for a small bit but that is gone - I know speed sensors work but tire config comparable - and really want VSS for logging, speedo, and cruise (not that I will use it much).

I also have seen where a possible GPS sender could help this ....

Please please post if you have or find anything out on this....

Thanks
