Manual install question

Started my install last week and it is going well but need a quick question answered. Which speed sensor do I use, the one from the auto or the manual? I am installing a 2004 WRX 5 speed.
Thanks

Re: Manual install question

For the SVX speedometer to work, you need the original SVX speed sensor that mounts to the passenger side of the front diff...you will need to extend the original harness to reach the new location on the manual tranny

Re: Manual install question

Crap, I sold my VSS with the auto transmission... Is this the correct part number? 85082PA010

Re: Manual install question

I just plugged the connector on the SVX into the 6MT speed sensor and everything works correctly...
