My puma, had a recent clutch change, it's an analogic dash '98 VCT
After the change, I've driven the car in total, around 100 miles, maybe less.
Rarely, it would go to 500 rpm. Did it twice. But now I've noticed the error P0500 on torque. Ît seems to appear when the rpm's drop to 500.
The program says about vehicle speed sensor. A friend pointed me it's on the top of the gearbox, and i suppose i've located it. (Engine still hot, so, can't touch it)
Are there differences between digital and analog vss sensors? This if my symptoms are related to this issue
 
I've ordered one analog dash VSS for my car, so, until it arrives, is only a matter to unscrew it and put new one?
Or is there any cautions, special procedures to take on consideration?
 
Others will comment with more experience, but as a start be safe with getting under the car and secondly I would imagine you would have to disconnect the battery.
 
Thanks!
It arrived today. Tomorrow will try my lyck
I suppose I can do it without getting under the car.
Finally having thin arms and long fingers may be helpful :lol:
 
Solved.
Didn't needed to get under the car, managed to do it from the hood.
Unscrewed the speedo cable, disconnected the plug and unscrewed the vss
All solved. No more error codes and the car doesn't stall anymore :D
