Default VSS location on Civic Si

Hi,

I'm having some problems with my speedometer and I'm suspecting my VSS is bad.

Everything in the dash works (RPM, Gas gauge, etc..) except the speedometer. It indicate 0 kmh. Some times it works for a few minutes and it goes back to 0 kmh.

So my question is where is the VSS located. On the tranny? Is it easy to change? How? Is it expensive?

Thanks

Maxime,

look where your throttle body is and look straight down, the vss lies right there, normally held on by one 10mm bolt

if it is a cable transmission, the VSS is located in the back of the gauge cluster itself. the piece in the tranny is nothing more than the gear that drives the cable that turns the VSS in the back of the cluster.

if the car is 92+, then yes, the VSS is located in the tranny in the location that the cable driver is located in cable trannies..

It's a 2000 Civic Si.

I tried looking for it this weekend but could find it. It's really crowded in there. I dont even know what it looks like.

Itll have a harness plugged into the top of it. Right on top of your transmission towards the back. its hard to miss.
