The pick up is in the tailshaft of the transmission.

You need a new Flux Capacitor (http://"http://kalecoauto.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=8&products_id=21").

Save your pennies though, they ain't cheap... :hick:

That's a feature in your car to help stop you from speeding.

Really. I'm serious. There's a button on the lower right of the cluster. You press it at your desired speed, and it will beep and flash the speedo when you go 5MPH over that speed.
