The fuel sending unit did not include a new connector, and I cannot find one on rockauto.com. The VSS sensor also did not include a new connector - I checked - or I would have gone ahead and bought one. The only sensors that include a new connector are those where they changed and you cannot connect to it - such as the crank sensor and the O2 sensors.

Right now, my speedo won't work because of the connector, and if my fuel sending unit connector slips off - that is a major PITA to try to correct on the side of the road eh? So, again, I am getting nowhere on this one.

Default 1995 VSS sensor connector for MTX wanted

I have been to every junkyard in my area and I cannot find a good VSS sensor connector for a 1995 wiring harness with an MTX transmission.

The VSS sensor connector for a automatic is completely different and will not work. Not sure why Chrysler did that, but not suprised either.

Every manual tranny 1st gen neon I have found either has had the connector chopped off and discarded, or the clip is broken.

Does anyone have a VSS good connector (the locking clip must not be broken as I already have one of those)? If so, what do you want for it? PM me please. I am not looking for the sensor itself, just the connector to the sensor.

You could save yourself the headache and upgrade to the newer style connector.

Yeah, but then I also have to replace not only the connector, but the sensor, and it works fine (when it stays plugged in). Also, I cannot find a two-wire MTX VSS sensor or connector of either flavor that isn't already busted, so I still am sitting without a solution.

I did manage to find a website that SHOWS a three-wire sensor and connector replacement, but when you read the description, it does not mention the connector at all. When I called, the person was just an order taker, not a parts specialist, so they could not "check the box" to see what was actually in there, and the parts are shipped from elsewhere.
