Default My speedometer werks, well kinda????

I replaced my guage cluster with an Si one. Everything worked fine, but when I took out my dash to paint it I was a little rough with the speedo cable cause it didn't come off at first. When I put everything back in the speedo worked but not until I got up to around 50 mph. then it started at 0 and went up from there. When I'm doing around 80 it reads around 25mph. I then swapped motors for a ZC DOHC and replaced the cable but the same thing is happening. Is their a certain way the cable has to go or be placed in. I would really like to know how faster I'm going becuase the cops around here are dicks, and I want to see how fast the new motor moves me with actual MPH not just by feel. Is it possible that I messed up the Mechcanical VSS or something else any help is appriciated.

that would be nice but I got it out of a junk yard. Time to find a new one or it's time to do the GSR cluster swap I've been planning.
