Default Speed sensor VSS run-around...


I’ve got a camaro SS tr6060 with a factory 3-wire Hall effect VSS.
I simply need a sinewave Signal to my 411 pcm (like what the f-body t56 2-wire sensor sends).

-is it possible to simply swap sensor out for a 2-wire sensor or is the reluctor wheel different also?
-which sensor will work? Anyone know? Thanks a ton!
VSS location on this tr6060 trans is passenger side near shifter.

still looking for a solution, but i can say i have a 17 tooth VSS reluctor wheel (same as t56). i also THINK theres a gt500 tr6060 2-wire VSS that works but i cannot confirm without holding one in hand. anyone know?
i don't want the Dakota Digital module on this build.

Not sure if you can find a direct fit 2 wire sensor. But any 2 wire should work as long as it's close to the reluctor to put out enough voltage. I bought an aftermarket threaded VSS, tapped the case of a T10, used the reverse gear as a reluctor. Theres also a post in the conversions section to get a 3 wire sensor to work on a 411 but have not tried it.

thanks for the reply. i ended up attempting to make the 3 wire sensor work with capacitor and resistor setup you are probably referring to at end of your comment. i believe you can MAYBE also use a Ford GT500 2-wire sensor as it has a t56. i haven't tested my method yet, hoping it works. if not, I'll try a 2 wire sensor that will work if i can find one.
