Default 1997 Speedometer Went Out

My great quest to fix the A/C had to come to an end because I’m the only one with a functioning car. Anyways recently the speedometer went out, the needle stays at zero but it shifts normally, I went to RockAuto to be greeted with 2 different output speed sensors and I’m not sure which one is the culprit.

Thanks! My next question is which brand do I buy? My nearest Honda dealer doesn't sell it anymore.

Why not buy it from Rockauto, where you found the pics?

Like I said which brand? There is a few. I'm looking for one that will last a long time. I see some listings on Ebay but I'm not sure if they're genuine parts or not.

I'd take the Honda one on ebay if the seller has 5 stars and no recent complaints.

I'm sure even the economy ones will last for years.
