Speedometer cable f.y.i.

Ever since I swapped a b16a into my 91 CRX I have never hit vtec in 5th gear, seldom in 4th, and finally in any gear just starting last week. I had code 17 (VSS) off and on and whenever I got it I'd check to make sure the cable was seated and the clip hadn't fallen off...never was the case. Finally decided to change the cable and I now have no problem hitting vtec in every gear. :biggrin:

The old cable didn't have any kinks or breaks, it spun freely...if anything, its was wee bit short but still fit. The replacement cable I used is from a 91 Integra LS which is about 2 inches longer than the CRX one and cost me $28 at the dealer.

Only reason why I'm posting this is because I searched my ass off trying to find the make/model/year for the replacement and when I did find it the info seemed alittle sketchy like , "I think its..." or "It should be..."

or just go to a parts store, like napa, and tell them what you need. ive gotten 2 speedo cables from them so far. every time i get a new car it always has a broken speedo.....bad luck?
