Default VTEC and Speedometer not working.

I recently had an exedy clutch and flywheel installed in my car and now my VTEC and my speedometer doesn't work. I read in the forum that it could be caused by low oil pressure so I immediately did an oil change on the car and it's still experiencing the same thing. Now my check engine came on.

Does anyone know what the problem could be? Has anyone experienced this same problem?

If your speedometer isn't working VTEC won't work either. Make sure your VSS is plugged in, they may have forgot to plug it back in.

I'm new to all this and don't want to sound too dumb. What is the VSS and where is it located?

VSS is vehicle speed sensor it its straight down from the throttle body on top of transmission right above where the axles go in.

There's only one bolt on the VSS correct?

I dont know how to check for codes. I checked and made sure all the sensors (plugs) were connected all the way.

This is a 00 Si that is having the problem. Just so you all know.

Thanks.

You would know there was a code being thrown if your check engine light (CEL) was on.

Take the car back to whoever installed the clutch for you, they should be fixing this problem not you, judging by your posts I am assuming you didn't install your own clutch.
