Tranny swap problems

Hi all,

I have had the guy that looks after my car do a trans swap from a donor car. Sounds like it's been a pig of a job to get the trans off the donor car engine dowels!

Anyway, now it's installed, there are a couple of problems....

1) There was no hole for the speed sensor to go into on the donor car transmission, so I now have no speedo. The guy said that the casings appear identical. The original gearbox was a 92 vintage and the donor box was from a 92 car, altho apparently a new box was fitted by Subaru about 4 years ago. Any ideas where the speed sensor location may be in this case??!

2) The selector is difficult to get into P to get the key out of the ignition and when it it is in that position, the dashboard light shows R and the reverse lights are on (and when the selector is in all other positions, the correct gears are selected and displayed). He says that he has tried all the range of adjustments but can't get it right. Is there any magic to this??

3) The engine check light is permanently on - due to the speed sensor?

4) The cooling fans seem to be on all of the time. I've had this before and it went away of it's own accord.

Any help gratefully received before I get a speeding ticket!

Thanks

Tony
