Default VSS gone bad?

I just bought an auto 93 civic but the speedo doesnt work. I tryed the VSS out of a 92 5speed I have and that didnt work.
I looked on autozone.com and there is not a difference on their site from 5speed to auto.
So my question is any ideas to get this speedo working?
Thanks

if the vss is good and not throwing a code you probable need a speedo head.

If CEL is on, check the CEL FIRST!!

If the CEL pertains to the speedo sensor, ding ding ding, it's probably just the sensor located ontop of the transmission.

If CEL is NOT on....
Problem: The speedo doesn't work but the odometer works.
Solution: Replace the cluster or just replace the speedo gauge

Problem: The speedo doesn't work AND the odometer doesn't work.
Solution 1*: Bad Sensor - Replace the speedo sensor in the transmission.
*CEL should be on
Solution 2: Bad Gauge - Replace cluster or just replace the speedo gauge
IF Neither solution above fixed it.
Solution 3: Check all wiring from the sensor to the gauge. Because the signal is disrupted somewhere.
