does this tranny have a speedo gear or a electronic plug, in other words will the speedo work in my 96 bird if i get this year tranny out of a gt.

The 04 4r70w uses a OSS sensor instead of the VSS sensor. It has no teeth on the output shaft to use the VSS. If their is a way to read the signal from the OSS then you will be able to use that tranny. Right now I don't think anyone has done it, because of that reason.

dang, i hope someone makes a setup for that to work, does anyone else think that it is possible to change it over the trannie or the car for the speedometer to work

You can swap the output shaft and extension hosuing

It's not too big of a deal if the tranny is already out of the car. Might just have to do a forced tailshaft lube mod when my tranny comes out to be trucked off to her new owner.

Are you saying swaping the output shaft is not that big of a deal??

Depends on who you are and if you have the right tools.

You could use the OSS if tied to a Auto-Meter aftermarket Speedo.

so what all would have to be done to make it work, how many choices, and how much cost.

If you want to go the route that Alan is talking about, then you have to tear the transmission apart to just bear casing and then change out the output shaft.
