Get a air blower and blow out both ends of the connecter for the speed sensor. may have coolant or moisture in it.

Mine is doing the same thing, I know its not my cluster. It worked fine with my ITR tranny, when i put in this b16 tranny it was acting a fool.

I know i spilled a little antifreeze in the VSS plug, i am going to blow it out, see if that works. I think the VSS might be bad.

Let me know what you find
