The fuse for the cruise is fine... From what I have read, I think it is definitely my VSS. Besides beating on my tranny with a sledge, is there anything I can do personally to fix this? Can I replace the speed sensor module on the outside of the transmission, or does it require dropping the tranny/taking it apart to get at the VSS? Has anyone paid to have this fixed? What kind of change do this I would have dishing out? Thanks again. jake edit: Found this: http://autorepair.about.com/library/a/1h/bl833h.htm?terms=vss+subaru . It references an auto tran, but is this valid for the manual as well?

Hi all, I have just spent a good while reading old threads about the speedometers in the 1999 OBW failing, but I can't seem to find one with my particular symptoms... My car: 99 Leagacy Outback Wagon 2.5l 5-speed manual approx. 117,000mi (analog odometer) -Cruise control totally non-functioning (even when the speedo is working) -Speedo/Odo stop working at the same time -No CEL -Tapping the dash (ok... you got me -- pounding on the dash with fist) does not work -Started failing occasionally, but is to the point where it will come on for only 10-25% of the time -All other gagues work fine (I use my Tach as my speedo...) Okay... so, what do you think? What kind of money do you think I have to drop to get this fixed? Thank you so much for your help. jake
