hey guys.

 

My 3k decided to let go a few weeks back and I've finally got around to tearing it out to make way for a 4k.

The car is auto as it's my daily runabout and with all my other cash tied up in my s13 project, it's going to remain that way for quite some time.

 

After about an hour of being busy with it yesterday, the only thing I had left to do before lifting it out was to drop the prop shaft.

This can't be done by the looks of things with what appears to be a sensor still attached to the box, i'm assuming it's the speed sensor.

 

Now, there's no hex head on it, or anything else i can see for an obvious removal.

Is it just a vicegrips and turn job? How do I go about removing the bugger?

 

I know my Silvia inside out however the 'rolla is still all a bit new to me in some regards, and I'd rather look stupid by asking and do it properly than to not ask and stupidly destroy it with idiotic frustration.

 

thanks in advance guys.

Yeah it's the speedo cable. Just unscrew it. Or do you mean the reverse light plug?

I could only see one attached to the box.

It's on the passnger side closer to bellhousing.

Has some kind of insulator/sheathing around it for protection.

Loops up and through the firewall.

 

Where's the reverse light plug?
