i juss bought a 92 Hatch and my spedomonor went out (sorry if i didnt spell it right) i dont know whats wrong wit it..the RPM gauge and the gas gauge works but the MPH guage dont work and the odomoter isnt turning the miles. any ideas? the guy i bought it from says i might be a "speed sensor" in the tranny. any ideas thanks in advance =D

 

sounds like it might be the VSS in the tranny or the cluster itself

 

Check the VSS on the tranny first if it's still connected.

 

guaranteed its the cluster , mine always goes nuts and then shuts right off then i just give it a bang it it comes right back on , i really have to get a new .. check the ss first tho because they are alot cheaper then a new cluster, or just get another cluster from a junkyard for dirt cheap or if u wanna fork out some money buy a new sir one

No, it's right in the top, it's very easy.
