What effects if disconnect speed sensor?

[Veloc]

Hi sifus...

My situation is like this... I am running a 4AGE Blacktop but with a standard 4AFE dash wiring and speedometer. The 4AFE meter uses a mechanical feed for the speedo. My speedo now has malfunction due to the cable being worn out. I am thinking whether to:

1. Change the whole thing to sensor system; or
2. Keep it in mechanical mode. Just replace the broken cable

I would probably go for the less trouble and less cost option which is option 2, but I want to ask... Is there any bad effects from not plugging in the VSS "vehicle speed sensor in the Blacktop? Limited performance, bad fuel economy, etc... I know I do not have speed cut at 180 km/h right now but that is not a problem for me . I heard cases where the rev limit will drop to 7500 in silvertop, and low rpm performance will suffer. But how about blacktop?

Thanks...

no input, no display.

I mean will it affect performance. Power, FC, etc...

true or not I'm not sure

power and fc i dont know.. but for car with variable valve timing like vtec and mivec, they need the speed sensor signal to engage the mivec and vtec, mean no signal no vtec and mivec.. i not sure about vvti
