Detailed Description

Walker 240-1790 is engineered for precise vehicle speed readings in the transmission system, helping maintain stable speed signal input for drivability and control functions. Its plastic housing, oblong black connector, and 2-wire spade terminal configuration support a clean electrical connection, while the sensor-only format keeps the replacement focused on the failed component. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application. Compatible With 2000-2006 Volkswagen Golf, transmission speed sensor; 2000-2005 Volkswagen Jetta, transmission speed sensor; and 2000-2004 Volkswagen Beetle, transmission speed sensor. Walker 240-1790 is a practical replacement for Volkswagen Golf, Jetta, and Beetle models where accurate transmission speed input is required.

What It Helps Address

• Erratic or inaccurate speedometer readings
• Transmission speed signal faults
• Harsh or inconsistent shifting related to speed input
• Traction control or braking system issues tied to speed data
• Fuel control problems caused by unreliable speed information

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the connector shape, terminal count, and mounting style before installation. Match the vehicle application by year, make, and model, and verify the transmission speed sensor location on the vehicle before removal. Clean the connector area and inspect the wiring harness for corrosion or damage before connecting the replacement sensor.

Quality Assurance

Walker manufactures this sensor with a durable plastic housing and a design intended for consistent speed signal performance in daily driving conditions. The construction supports long service life and dependable operation in the listed Volkswagen applications.
