Miguel!!! Well, surely that thing doesn't go that fast. Speedometers are overrated anyways.

If I'm right, there should be a cable that runs from the tranny, through the firewall, and into your gauge cluster. Check that.

i had a problem with my old crx. it would always force the cable out of there for some unknown reason. doesnt matter if i secured it in there 1/4" steel. it would end up bending that and still popping it out. it really pissed me off until i just said fuck it i dont need a speedometer.. a tach is all i need lol.
