Speedometer

karnovking · #1 08-16-2005, 06:19 PM

my 94 civic's speedometer dropped to zero for about 10 seconds and then resumed normal operation. then a few days later I was going 60 and it dropped down to 20 and shot back up to 60 again. It has been a week since this has happened.

The cable cannot be broken since it is still operation, right?

Does anyone have any ideas?

Just check the vss the cable might be loose or something...im not too familiar with speedometer problems though so that might not be the case

There is no cable.......prob the speedo is bad or the sender on the tranny.

Thanks, you saved me time looking for the cable. Guess they don't use them on cars anymore.

is that sender easy to get access to?

my son's 93 civic has sort of the same problem, did'nt think it had a cable as the other day i was starting it i noticed the speedo needle going up and down.

i am guessing the sensor is that little black thing on the top of the trans with the wire comming out of it?

autozone wants 95 dollars for it. I'm thinking of taking a trip up to the junkyard with my cargo pants on, can't believe it is that much money.

95 bucks or take the chance of being BIG BUBBAS girlfriend if you get caught stealing. Personally I would spend the $$$.

Perhaps BIG BUBBA sounds like a better idea to you.

STEALING IS BAD!!!!!
