Please assist if possible:
My 1996 2.8TDI Pajero Gen 2's speedometer suddenly decided to stop working. Along with that, the A/T Box only goes through the 1st three gears, and the A/T light flashes obscene messages.
The vehicle can idle for 15 minutes or longer, and no flashing A/T light.
If you drive it, after +/- 1km, the flashing starts.
After doing a Diagnostic test, it said
38 Speed Sensor
11 TPS
I have replaced the speed sensor - No change
I have checked continuity on wire from speed sensor to dash - All OK

If anyone has some ideas, I would be very grateful.

Use the search facility on here to search for 'Speedometer'. There are lots of posts that might point you in the right direction - for example

The overdrive unit needs a speed input, which I seem to remember comes from the instrument cluster rather than direct from the gearbox (but I could easily be wrong).

The 'TPS' is the Throttle Position Sensor, which is a potentiometer on top of the fuel pump.  Again, worth doing a search on here.

If you can get hold of a workshop manual and wiring diagram, that would probably help you.

But definitely worth spending a few hours searching on here.  There's a great deal of information relating to Shoguns/Pajeros of the same generation as yours.

Such a shame that this forum has now gone to the dogs.   A few years ago you would have got instant and knowledgeable responses to your post.

Thank you Lou.

I will search again, and try to find out more around your cluster note.

Really appreciate your reply.

This is seriously frustrating me.

Hi
Just some feedback.
Finally sorted, problem lay in the Cluster that did not allow the signal to get through.
Paj running, but no money left for juice.
