Non turbo/non abs cars(xt uses basically) had a speedo sensor on the trans extension housing. I gather you don't have either now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you need to have a look at the chassis/abs wiring differences between the v8xt and the donor turbo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
