Hi Tony

I just pulled out the speed sensor and dash cluster. The speed sensor on our Aussie spec Corolla AE112 , however, is a pure mechanical part that connects directly to the dash with no electric parts at all. I found out the reason for my speedo stop working is that speedo cable jumped out of the socket on dash cluster. I put it back in and took it for a drive, however as soon as speed pick up to 50km/h the speedo is busted and jumping up and down and shaking again.

I also checked speed sensor ,there is no teeth missing, just a little bit stripped on the edge ,as its a 20 years old plastic gear .

Hi Marco

My 2000 corolla AE112 is now in the same situation yours were. Speedometer and overdrive stopped working completely now. and a few weeks leading to this, I noticed that my corolla doesn't shift to overdrive at 75kph intermittently. Shortly after that, speedometer stop working . I've nearly given up on it as everything looks fine. Until I see your comments. All falls into place. Thanks a lot for sharing the experience.

How exactly did you remove the instrument cluster out? I can see the thick cable hooked up behind it but unable to pull the cluster body out as thought I might break it beyond repair. Thanks

Thank you SuperDave for sharing the instruction. Even a newbie like me can do it in 2022. You are super SuperDave!
