Default Help BMR torque arm speedometer plug

Well I installed the full length torque arm last night and all went well and easy (tight fit) except the only way to push forward the torque arm in the bushing enough to fit was to disconnect the connector right next to it which is the speedometer and also controls when it blocks out reverse. well theres no way to plug it back in since the torque arm is right under it and now my speedo doesnt work, then after a short drive to test it out, it blocks out reverse no matter what, so now I dont have reverse either. Il include a couple pics I took



The little black rectangle to the left of the top part of the bushing is where it connects to

Give us a call and we will help get it figured out for you. Either the torque arm is too long or the rear end is too far forward in the car. If you can grab the length measurement on the torque arm you have so I can compare to one that we have here. You should definitely be able to plug in that reverse lockout plug without any kind of interference so there is something going on.

Thank you all for your replies, overall length is 56-56.5 inches just about. Either way the issue is fixed with a lot of playing and toying with the adjustments, basically screwed all the adjustments all the way in almost and played with the angle of the plug in to get it to work. Thanks!

We actually flipped the sensor in the bracket for my car. Also ended up trimming some off of the torque arm too. Same exact problem.
