[V6-12v] 93' audi 90 . Speedo/odo/trip

[Tom Christiansen]

Ryan,

Could be the speed sensor on the tranny. It generates the signal for the 
speedo and I believe the odometer/trip meter is derived from the speed 
info. Also if the speedometer drops out - even briefly - the cruise control 
will go into coast (at least that was the case on the 4/5000 series, I 
assume it's the same here...)

I don't know why you had trouble with the trip meter. Maybe it's a bad 
solder joint (or connection) on the instrument cluster. I would check for 
bad solder joints before changing the speed sensor.
