Hello Joe,
The drive shaft for this in the transmission is metal. I have read posts that say the gear that attaches to this metal shaft is plastic or brass. This is the gear inside the transmission. I haven't seen any pictures or discription from someone that has taken it apart.
The square part of the little shaft that broke goes into some type of non-metal bushing that spins inside the VSS2. The smallest part of this little shaft broke inside the bushing. I think the bushing is ceramic and about 1/4" in diameter and about 1" long.
Yes it is a grease problem. Yes I am "trying" to get the grease to thin out. I put some special lube into the VSS2 and have it sitting upside down in the SVX. This should let the small amount of air inside the VSS2 expand and contract with the heat of the day and cold of the night. It should pump the air out and oil in. So I will check again this weekend after the heat/cold cycles a few times
Does your car have this same VSS2?
The sensor is electronic and there is no speedo cable.
