Do 92-95 Civics and 94+ Integras use mechanical or electronic speed sensors on B-series engines?

I've been reading up on removing the power steering, but a major concern of mine is that the vehicle speed sensor (VSS) in my 92 Integra is mechanical and looks like it gets its lubrication from the power steering system. I read a write-up for a Type-R removal, but they mention no concerns about retaining speed sensor lubrication.

Thanks in advance.

 

yes. all 92+ civics and 94+ Integra's use an electrical VSS.
In JDM land, some EF (SiR) & DA (XSi/RSi) use an electronic VSS also.

 

Looks like I have my work cut out for me since the 90-93 Integra's use a hydraulic pump to regulate steering fluid pressure, which is also what it uses for a speed sensor. If the vehicle speed sensor seized up....ach! Quote from Helm's: "It [the vehicle speed sensor] is driven by the speedometer gear shaft which in turn is driven by a helical gear on the differential."

92-95 Civics and 94+ Integra owners didn't have to worry about this stipulation when doing a power rack to manual-power rack conversion by removing the pump and resevoir. Looks like I'm gonna have to get creative. Thanks for the info Katman.
