There is no need to open up another thread when you already started one https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=2205490

 

I'd guess that you're not putting it in all the way or you have the incorrect speedo cable. Did you replace the whole VSS or just the cable?

 

i replaced the whole vss..when i took out the gear.it was messed up again..could it be something in the transmission that spinning the gear damaging the gear???

Could be that the plastic gear on the differential that transfers to the VSS is stripped. Are you using a mechanical or electronic VSS?

 

im using a mechanical vss. would it be hard to replaced plastic gear on da differential???

Can you disassemble a transmission and differential?

I'd be willing to put my money on you either using the wrong one or not having it pushed in all the way. Although, you may have damaged te gear on the diff by putting it in wrong in the first place...

I'm just making assumptions though, not calling you dumb or anything. Try shining a flashlight into the VSS hole to see if your speedo gear is damaged.
