Default 240sx coupe speed sensor not wired

Ok, so I just got this car, and I want to wire up the Speed Sensor so the odometer works. I'm a honda guy, so this might be vague

On rear of transmission: One connector, two horizontal metal pieces in a clearish-yellow plastic housing. both of the wires are yellow. not sure what it is

Near the front of the transmission: One connecter, two horizontal metal pieces in a clearish-yellow plastic housing, both of the wires are black. also not sure what it is.

All I know is it is swapped. There are a bunch of grey connectors hanging around the tranny but neither of them pair up with what is actually on the tranny. do I need to spice them?

Here's a picture of the swap for reference:


Thanks in advance.

I don't think your odometer has to work to get an inspection.

not my pic, 5 second google image search. Hes pointing at the speed sensor, I believe it's a two wire plug that goes straight to your trans harness.


heringtons correct, your odometer does NOT need to work to pass inspection.

ugh.. mismatching body panels, faded paint, and yellowing bumpers are a 240 standard.

Ok...

Ill would get really good at reading FSM's. Since nobody will probably where the get the info for this here ya go.

The speed sensor is simple. Its a two wire connection that goes from the speed sensor up to an 8 wire connection by the engine bay fuse box. In between this there is a 2 prong connector with wire colors Yellow/blue and Yellow/black.
