    Since the speedo goes into the tranny and I have an Accord engine and a Civic tranny, I need to get the speedo cable for the Civic, right? Later, QD.

    Glad you posted this. My gf just called and said the speedo on her 97 Civic just went out. She called early and said that her CEL came on and then a hour later, this happens. How much is a speed cable and should it b easy to replace?

    That one has a VSS that sends an electric signal to the speedo. You will likely have to replace the VSS.

    Refresh my memory but was does VSS mean again. Also is the part cheap that I can pickup at Autozone or so and is it pretty simple to change out myself?? Thanks for yalls help, gf just driving me crazy bc she can't tell how fast she is going.

    VSS is the speed sensor...it goes into the tranny and has a wire that runs to your cluster...her cluster may have just gone bad as well...I would swap it out with another civic cluster just to see if that's what's wrong because that is what happened to mine
