Default 1990 crx si speedo problems

I have a 1990 crx si with a b16a swap. My speedo stopped working i disconnected the speedo and it looks like the square piece on the end of the cable isnt long enough to reach the hole on the back of speedo. Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do to fix it?

Cause the cable spins fine and the speedo works when i turn it by hand. I just think the cable isnt mating up to the speedo. does anyone have a pic of how far the square thing sticks out on their speedo cable?

use ur stock si cable, or a da cable, not sure if u swapped out the b-series speedo sensor in the tranny but do so w/ your si one. have to make sure it mates up with the gear inside the tranny, but they all plug up to the back of the cluster the same, m they look like they might not be all the way in, but they r, that would prob. be the last thing wrong, check the tranny first.
