today I drive my teg on hwy 404 from Newmarket to Toronto....I was driving like around 140km/hr all the way until I noticed there's something wrong on the speed meter......the needle drop from 140km/hr to 80km/hr suddenly and back to 140km/hr in 1 sec....and the needle keep moving up and down unstably. The car didn't slowdown or speedup at that time....it just run well in constant speed........
After i slow down the car to around 100 km/hr, the speed meter then back to normal


i took the video from my cell phone see if anyone has any idea...?

P.S. I've change the GSR cluster

 

ure vehicle speed sensor may need to be replaced. happend to me simply from unplugging it. found out one of the pins on the vss was slightly cracked(corroded) which caused fluctuating in the speedometer. I simply soldered the pin for a easy fix

 

actually where's the VSS located? is it simply unplug the wire behind the cluster and check if anything wrong and plug back in?

thanks

 

the vss is on top back of the tranny behind the starter. held down by (1)10 mm

No-tec... Good job increasing your thread count. Did you have anything to add?

 

that same thing happened in my friends 98 civic hatchback. It was the speed sensor, but it could also be your wiring.
