    Hello.
    I have a 00 saturn SL200 that I let sit for a few months because i
    needed a new transmission. After I changed the transmission m
    speedometer and odometer stopped working. I'm not sure if it's a wir
    that lost connection or a problem with the actualy instrument cluster
    The rest of the gauges seem to work. Does anyone have ideas

    Was the battery good after sitting or did it need to be charged. I had
    a dead battery last year and after it was replaced, my speedometer
    did not work....turn out that the ECM lost some data and the data was
    needed for the speedometer to work properly. They charged quite a bit
    to reprogram the module. Good luck...

    There should be some kind of speed sensor on the trans, output side to
    give the PCM info to send to the speedo. Maybe it is not hooked up or
    is bad in the new trans.

    If the speed sensor is defective or unhooked, you should get a light,
    or sometimes the trans wont shift because the PCM doesn't know what the
    road speed is. James
