1993 965 Flashing Up Arrow, Speedometer Issues, Harsh Shift

Post by ichheisewilhelm »

Hello everyone,
I have had a 1993 Volvo 965 for about 2 months and I love it. It has around 220,000 miles and has been great to me. Recently however, I was shifting out of park to drive and it felt like I was in neutral and then something (felt like rear diff) clunked and then I started moving. After that happened, I got the flashing up arrow and my speedometer works intermittently: shooting up at times, and then staying at 0 MPH. Additionally, my transmission was rougher than usual, starting off in second and being very slow to shift. I pulled the codes and I got that the PNP switch error and the speedometer sensor error. My question is: do I need to replace both? I've been reading on the issue and they say that you may need to replace the instrument panel, or the transmission speed sensor needs fixed. I was trying to be as thorough as I could in describing my issues, but I won't be able to see my car until the weekend because I'm in university right now.

Thank you for all of your help!
