Yet Another Hicas Problem

[james.w]

Hey guys! Im James new here

I have a Automatic R32 GTS25.

The other day i was driving home and accelerated out of a street a bit to much and pretty sure I blew my gearbox

Now my speedo dosnt move when traveling. It can still drive but slips.

Now also my HICAS light came on as soon as it blew. Today I took it for a drive up my street. Reversing out of my garage the steering was nice and light. But when i got back it had gone extremly heavy. Im assuming its somthing to do with the speed sensor? As ive heard there is a switch that changes between hard and soft steering when driving.

any help is aprecaited

yeah it will be your speedo cable. In the R32's they will have a major affect on your HICAS

Friends Speedo cable went in his 32 and had heavy steering till he replaced the speedo cable then went back to normal

Cheers mate. WIll converting it to manual have any problems again? So long as it has a speedo cable and the speedo is getting a reading the steering should be fine? Ive heard the HICAS gets its signal from the actually speedo in the dash
