Hello I just recently bought a 1999 Subaru Legacy/Outback wagon the chassis has only 119,000 miles on it with a completely rebuilt 2.5ltr DOHC engine which only has approximate 3200miles on it; and my question today is about 1300miles ago my speedometer just shut down going down the highway, but not for good it shuts off about 30% of the time and the other 70% percent it works just fine. I know and have been informed that this is a speed sensor issue. But can it be an easy and inexpensive fix? Can I unplug the plug on the passenger side of the tranny to clear up this problem or is it just going to get worse over time? :roll: :?: I called up the local Subaru dealer and their parts counter said that the speed sensor was tied into the main wiring harness :( and the cost for it was approx $286.00 :shock: way more than I can or even want to pay @ this time . Isn't it too soon meaning before 150k miles for this kind of problem to be happening ? Is there an easier less expensive solution to fixing my speed sensor problem? thank you , peter parker
