I read Michael's tranaxle FAQ and just need to confirm something.

I picked up a Platinum transaxle yesterday and have the amplifier along with the Milano speedo.

In Michael's article he mentions an 86 or late 85 speedo will also work. Car in question is a late 85 with iso linkage. Build date is November 84.

I'm not near the car to check the sender, is it the same as the Milano with an amplifier?

I have the chance at a 86 GTV6 speedo. Would that be better?

just pick up an sgi-5....have a look on ebay..there are 2 dealers and you can pick it up for under 80$ shipped

sh0rtlife : You know if the sgi-5 will work on a GTV 116 82-model?

well my 83 has all of the older 82 style stuff so...hell my build date is 2 of 83

the sgi-5 is litteraly designed to work on ANYTHING

Mine is like this: And this is the broken part:



WIll it be able to replace it?

[sh0rtlife]

your going to have to find another sender then off another milano..doesnt need to be specific to a platinum tho

is it non functional and are you sure you had it wired correctly?

[franksun]

Yea its wired properly It is from a AR gtv 2.0 116 82-mod

No it isn't wired properly because :-

The sender you are holding was never fitted to an 1982 GTV. It will certainly NEVER work with an 1982 Veglia speedo without a signal converter like the SGI-5.

It may be ok but the missing converter means it cannot work.

Please do a search on speedo fixes in this forum for heaps of advice.

Wow, OK MD, thanks for the info...
The sender was in the box when i bought the car, the speedo never worked, that may explain it

[sh0rtlife]

which is why i asked if it was wired right....in some cases you need the amplifier AS WELL as the sgi-5 box
