Default B16A1 swap, but Speedo doesn't work???

Well I just finished up my friends B16A1 swap and took for a test drive and found out that the speedometer doesn't. What could be wrong or what did I do wrong?

Check your speedometer cable and make sure it's locked into the hole in the tranny.

My friend had the same problem. And it was the same solution. Hmmmmm, guess that happens a lot on DIY swaps.

How do you know when it locks in there? I tried it and it pulls out easily.

You should have a small brass retaining clip that locks over it. There's a groove that it will clip into right above where it goes into the tranny.
