vss T5 need help I'm going to run a T5 in my swap project. My question is the T5 I'm going to use has 2 wire connector, the trans that was in the car had a 3 wire. What is the easiest why to convert the signal to be compatible with my ecm and speedo ?

3 wire is typically a digital signal, ie Hall
So you need a VR to Hall signal conditioner.
This type of thing

OR..
I believe this can be used to the same effect and it will also allow you to adjust teh signal +/- 100% to calibrate the new trans to your speedo

I used the Jaycar kit when I fitted Hayabusa clocks to my car, and this reads off the T56 2 wire sensor.

T5 vss Was a solution found here? I am in the same boat, have a 5.3 and a T5 with a '87 S10 close in shifter, and electric speedo.

Can the T5 factory rector ring be used with a two wire pick up from a different application? it seems this should be a possibility without drilling a hole and adding a 40 tooth 700R4 reluctor ring.
Any help from someone who completed this combination installation?

Verdad Gallardo The ecu doesn't care what sensor you use as long as the voltage is high enough. The voltage will depend on the VSS, distance from reluctor, and reluctor speed. I used an aftermarket 2 wire VSS in a T10 with the reverse gear as reluctor in the link below.
Te existing reluctor will work, you just need to mount a 2 wiree VSS at the correct distance. You'll have to reprogram the ecu for the correct pulse per mile too.

Technically that is not correct.
If the ecu wants a hall signal, ie digital square wave max 12v and you feed it the signal from a VR signal which could see 100v, you can do damage to the ecu
And likewise if the ecu expects a sine wave signal that goes +/- over the zero line, then a hall effect signal may not get recognised at all

Oops, I left out a couple words in the 1 sentence that I put in the following ones.
"The ecu doesn't care what 2 wire sensor you use as long as the voltage is high enough."
Yeah, the ecu doesn't seem to like the square wave 3 wire sensor signal. But you don't necessarily need a specific 2 wire sensor or reluctor as long as they put out a sine wave with enough voltage.
Btw, I got my 2 wire from these guys, but you can try any that will fit.
