What year/model is it? I just swapped my 1.8 in a few weeks ago and my 90 dx cable fit it with a little slack left over. You might have to re-route it if its hitting any other cables or hoses...thats what i had to do. IM me if you have any questions(if its that or anything else about the swap). Then go out and enjoy all that torque...i know i do.

is that a b series vss or did you swap it from your crx tranny, the crx vss wont work
make sure it clips in there, what i do is put my car in neutral and push it back slowly while i push the clip in

NO. All you have to do is get the speedo cable from an older integra. I have this in stock and all you have to do is pay for shipping and I'll send it to you. I had this problem before and fixed it with the 89 integra speedo cable. Since I installed a GSR gauge cluster in my car, I don't need it anymore and you can have it, just pay for shipping. Trust me, I'm right.
