I have a 1991 imported vtech prelude, after a recent trip to the beach and many speed bumps later, my speedo has decided to stop working. Its intermitant, and someone has suggested it might be a loose connection.......... I have no clue as to where the connections will be, if anyone could help shed some light on this I would be very greatfull!! Im not a total barbie, I just cant read Japanesse!!!!

sounds like the speedo cable connection on top of the tranny has come loose.

Thanks for the response, by tranny, do you mean gear box? Im from the uk!!!hehe

Tranny = transmission. Not sure if the transmission is called a gear box in the uk. ohh and by the way its vtec not vtech. The H is invisible. There should be a cable connected to the top of the transmission that looks like its plugged into a sensor. check that.


Edit: Moved this to the prelude forum. Since you joined in july and its now august this doesnt really qualify as a welcome thread. Plus you might be better served in the prelude forum since this is a 'lude tech question.

there might be a chance that the speed sensor is shot too.. go check that out as well.. if it is, u either get the repair kit or get a brand new one.. honda actually improved the speed sensors since they don't really last very long in my country due to the heat, so they changed the casing and a few other things in the thing (i dunno if it only applies here, as in done by honda malaysia)

Not to bite u in the ass but is VTEC and yeah if its a cable in the cluster check that too and yes gearbox is a tranny as well this is a common problem after a engine swap cuz we somethings lose the metal pin that holds the cable to the speedo down!!!
