QUESTIONS:
Will this work on a GM TH400
Your GM transmission should have the standard thread on cable fitting. This speed sensor should work for your application.

Does this sensor Fit the Borg Warner T18A
Your Borg Warner trans should have the standard thread on fitting. The 5291 should work in this application.

Does speed sensor work with muncie four speed ?
If the transmission uses a 7/8"-18 thread for a mechanical speed cable this will work.

I have a '79 camaro w/TH400 transmission. I will be using a gauge cluster w/Auto Meter American Muscle gauges. Which speedometer sending unit will I need to use?
You can either use 5291 or 5293 for a mechanical to electric speed sensor.

I PURCHASED A #2489 ELECTRONIC SPEEDOMETER WITH A #5291 SPEED SENSOR ... ABOUT 5 YEARS FOR A CLASSIC RESTO MOD TRUCK. THE SENSOR IS NOW LEAKING TRANS FLUID OUT OF THE CABLE IS THIS DUE TO AN "O" RING FAILURE OR AN INTERNAL SEAL FAILURE?
Thank you for your question.
Unfortunately this is due to an O-ring within the transmission. From this O-ring failing it causes the fluid to leak out through the VSS as there are no seals to stop this on the unit.
