(sure it's plugged in good?) Try looking down the hole that the speed sensor threads into?
Edit - another idea: Maybe the sensor didn't get threaded in far enough for the little spinny thing at the bottom to fit into its slot?

I finally had some time to work on the SVX, I've just been so busy with school and Athletic events. Anyway I looked into the hole where the sensor threads into and was able to see the slit in which the metal part "T" of the sensor fits into. I talked to BUDFREAK from Subaru SVX World Forums svxworldforums.com and he told me to use a flat head screwdriver and try to turn the piece and if it turned I was screwed... WELL, It didn't spin in either direction so that should mean its not the plastic gears or driven shaft.
I then proceeded to examine the wiring and there actually is some visual damage to it. I will add a picture. It is just so close to the harness that I really can't splice it. Going to contact Subaru of Sioux Falls to see if they have it. I am really hoping that this will solve the problem. I will also add a picture of what the OLD sensor and the NEW sensor look like side by side.
