    I have an '09 Impreza (no VSS in trans) and recently got a P0500 code for VSS circuit malfunction. Speedo goes crazy after cruising a bit on the highway and can't rev past 4k. However, if I just stick to city driving for 1-2 days, the codee eventually goes away. How could I diagnose which ABS wheel speed sensor is giving me issues?

    Since the gauge cluster determines the speed sensor type, you do not need to do any wiring. Just swap the old vehicle speed sensor into the new transmission.

    I've two Subaru's, both model year 1998. Fozzy and Lecy. They both manual trans, and have this 2 wire sensor. But how do you easily remove them? Its extremely hard to get a key/tool on it. The "Nut" is very Narrow, and i troed a lot of things but nothing seems to grip on it.. It has the little metal pin sticking into the transmission, a nut shape , and the round metal/plastic body housing, and the two wires coming out. The only way, up to now, it twist on the round housing and hope it brakes loose without damaging the sensor. So, it there a special tool/trick for removing this sensor?

    Unfortunately, I don't have a good answer for that since we don't remove a ton of these given we are doing the wiring part more than the mechanical bits.

    I bought a 2007 forester (originally auto) that was swapped with a 2008 legacy manual trans. The previous owner left the 3 pin speed sensor unplugged, and the only other connector that’s unplugged and near that sensor is a 2 pin connector. Is my 2007 auto supposed to have a 2 pin or 3 pin originally?

    Hello, your 2007 Forester originally came with a 3 pin VSS Connector. It will look like this for the plug side - iwireusa.com/products/vehicle-speed-sensor-vss-plug-a You may need (or already have) a VSSPro iwireusa.com/products/vss-pro-with-iwire-plug-and-play-wiring-harness?_pos=1&_sid=8c6afea3f&_ss=r
