anyone know where is the speed sensor located on 97 accord 5sp??

TouringAccord

the Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS)?

accord478

yes my speedometer stop working and autozone did the cel and thats wat it is lol
i know its on transmition somewhere but not exactly where so

TouringAccord

It's located on the transmission, under where the shift cables mount to on the transmission.

I couldn't find a diagram so I found a picture and circled the VSS in red.

I pulled the image from s.cali alan auto-to-5spd write-up, if this is a problem let me know and I'll remove it

accord478

awsome man thanks thats just wat i need it if i can get to it lol

TouringAccord

yep, np

accord478

it look like i have to take the part of the intakemanyfold off do you have any idea?
or any easier way?

TouringAccord

I don't think you need to remove the IM. Just unbolt the intake from the throttle body and move that out of the way. Maybe even disconnect and unbolt the sift cables from the tranny to give you more room.

I'm sorry, I'm kinda drawing a blank right now as to what else could be in the way.

accord478

well i can get to the left side but i cant get to the other side i try to use ranch but cant get to it lol oh well i try again i guess oh by the way auto place i called they sad they charge $330 for wat im doin right now

TouringAccord

yep, they are probably charging for a couple hours of labor and the part plus some sorta of mark-up I would assume.

accord478

TouringAccord
