I've seen on other threads that older Corolla's are prone to bad speedos. My '98 LE has been through 2 speed sensors (on the tranny) and 2 instrument clusters and it's still acting up. Any ideas on how to trace down the potential bad grounds in the tranny circuit? Should I take her to the...

The second cluster just went bad, so evidently that isn't the problem. How can I trace the transmission circuits looking for an elusive faulty ground??

Thanks for the good vibes. Keeping my fingers crossed.

The failures occur within 50 miles. Problem started at around 85000 miles and now has 86000 miles. The replacements have been from a parts store at +/- $150. I did just salvage an instrument cluster from a junk yard and installed it. So far, the problem has not returned. Keep your...

I have replaced the speed sensor(located on the transmission) twice. Both times it appears to solve the problem (transmission erratic shifting, loss of cruise control, etc.) but in short order the symptoms start again. Then sometimes it will work, other times it will not. Could it be a...
