Quick ? about speedometer
Hi, im new to posting but have been looking on the forums for supra stuff for about 10 years now.. just never felt like posting untill now. Looked everywhere except under my car lol.. but my speedometer is not working and i was wondering if the speedo gear in the tranny is electronic, or do i have a speedo cable? Oh yeah.. its a 1993 Black with tan 5spd. 2jz

On my 97, the speedo used to work only when it's cool. If it got too hot, it would cut off and the odometer would stop working also. This causes the steering to feel very loose because it is speed sensitive which is pretty dangerous. I even got a code that says the speedo malfunction.
I bought another cluster and it worked perfectly.

ok well i decided to take the darn thing apart. took out the motor from the new cluster. went to take out the old one and once again, the motor doesnt bolt in the same way so i didnt even bother taking it out. plust the ODO screen was smaller on the new one. It must be from an OBDII SC400 Auto, and i have a 93 SC300 5spd.. this is driving me crazy. can i buy a motor somewhere? or am i SOL untill i find the correct cluster
