i think i need to replace my vehicle speed sensor cause my speedo sometimes goes on and sometimes it doesnt work. every other gauge works perfectly. i need to know where is it possibly too. i used to own a 90 hatch si so this is my newer vehicle. i need to get to know thsi vehciel by HEART. so any help would eb appreciated.thank you!

VTAKKK!!

im not exactly sure on your engine but on my gsr tranny it is mounted almost directly below where the intake tube and intake mani come together

of yours is simialar it will be a the biggest plug on the top of the tranny

hope that helps

92ehatch

on the EG it is pretty much below the battery on the transmission, there is 1 10mm bolt holding it in

unbolt it and unlpug then inspect the gear

then undo the other two 10 mm bolts the check the pieces inside

cc11386

how do i inspect the gear? i had the vss off this mornign. do i unscrew the four screw on the top of it. it seems to come off some rod that is inserted in the trans. i donno anythign about that ****. i have replaced many things before but not this. lol so if i cant fix it today i am gonna prolly get a sticker hopefully and then send it to a mechanic to get ti fixed.

Theres a long 10mm bolt remove that and twist the whole unit and it should come right out, I say twist because of the O ring likes to stick sometimes.

92ehatch

yeah, there is only 1 bolt holding the gear down, its the tallest 10 mm

twist it to the right to get it out

92ehatch

oh , and make sure when you took off the top part a little rod about 1 inch long didnt fall out, you need that

It's probably the gauge cluster soldering coming loose, not the VSS itself. The Honda VSS units on EGs and EKs are remarkably resilient and can usually be repaired even if they break. The clusters, on the other hand, suck *** as far as quality is concerned and they expletive up all the time. You can resolder things or you can get a new one.

Enjoy that.

the little pole thing did stay inside the transmission part area. i put it back together an di just got home from driving around really quick. the speedo kicked on ONCE then when i started it back up from gettign gas nothing again.check the wries leadign to the cluster you say?well thsi si the order i removed the vss. i unplugged it.there are 3 bolts around the vss. i unbolted the two that hold the unit down. i wiggled the unit off.then i unbolted the third long bolt. that bolt didnt seem to do anythign but just be there.i wanna fix this myself so i can save some cash cuz i wanna change the timing belt in my car soon.that i am having done professionally.

It's located on the backside of the tranny, it's held into place by 1 10mm bolt, remove that and you can visually inspect it. 99% of the time cleaning it will fix it.

does anyone have a picture of the vss unit. i think i know what it is cause i took it off the car earlier today. pictures i hope will help me out a little bit more. like i said i unplugged it and the rod was still conected to the tranny. so my question is the top half that i removed the vss unit or is there more????

cc11386

so i will try it again tuesday when i get home from work. i need to fix it before i go to get my car inspected. i bought this coupe as is so i cant go to the owner and say fix this.it doesnt really bother me cuz i can walk to work or anythign. i live near my work. but still if i want to go out i dont wanna get nagged by driving to fast and then not knowing howe fast i am going.

cc11386

when i remove the one very tall bolt the whole unit should coem loose. should i loosen th etwo ther bolts at the same time or keep them bolted on?
