Hey, I have a 1989 CRX SI (D16A6) Manual Transmission. I found out my speedometer cable won't go in due to something being broken within the shaft itself.



The blue is where the speedometer cable goes in. The pink is the assembly of it.

Is there an easy way to remove the speedometer gear

Jon

 

vice grips....thats how i did mine...

 

Mines stuck =\ It feels like it was pressed in.

 

did you try moving it back and forth?

 

Well I havent, shouldi hook up the shift linkage and all that

 

try it and see if that works...

 

okies, hmm i should heat it up to see if i can get it out though =\

 

ehm didnt work =\

 

sorry i tired to help..

 

Thanks for trying. Is there anyway u happen to move the axles ?

 

put the car in neutral

 

ahh cool will try that

 

i couldnt get mine out either.....I tried for a bit and no luck.....but when I got my B-series it didnt have one....so I got an electronic one....but I havent wired it yet because I sold my DC2 gauge cluster....so now I'll have to go get an OEM one for now...Good luck with the removal....Let us know how it went.

i had a pair of vise grips and i think all i had to do was grip that thing very hard and twist it untill it got loose .

that's what i was trying to say....

 

dang that mug is hard to get out. seriously im thinking of just taking out th engine again

 

My gots, there is no way to do this. Any honda gurus out there know how to pull out the speedometer gear housing?

 

bump for anyone's help. I vicegripped it to death and just end up bending the housing.

 

?

 

I couldnt get it either man, I played with it for an hour

All I was doing was swapping throwout bearings so I kind of just tried to pry the tranny away at the bottom and swap it, yeah well that didnt work, top of the tranny fell and the ******* cable broke, I now have no speedo

Im swapping another build D in shortly, Ill see if I can get it then

 

What I did:
1.Take compressed air and blow/clean out the dirt and debris
where the sensor is inserted..
2.Soak it liberally around the outside with PB Blaster

3.Grab the larger part of the sending unit where it meets the transmission
with some round jawed channel-locks or vise-grips.
4.Move the sending unit side to side to break the seal,reapply lube if necessary.
5.As the side to side movement becomes easier with the lube,start pulling
upward while still moving it back and forth..
6.Heat from a small propane torch might also help..
[lack of space is going to make all this very difficult]
I had never removed one until just now but the trans is not in a car
so it was not as hard I'm sure..

 

You might also be able to move it up slightly using the little slot
in the sending unit that is designed to hold it in using a
flatblade screwdriver or a brake adjustment tool...

 

Man i pulled it out, seems like it was dented. I had to drill tap it and put a screw in it and use a puller on it. Came out like a charm Seems the person who tried to take the cable out broke the female end of the gear, now I have to buy a new one.

Thanks for the help guys

(*Btw you can fill the transmission fluid from here as well*)

 

yes you can put fluid tranny fluid in there.
