Pretty common problem, i had it with my 95 ex. I just kind of shook on my speed sensor and it fixed the problem lol....You could try that and take the plug off the speed sensor and clean it, its probably just losing connection.

+1 to the loose connection usualy if the speeomter does not work but the rest of the cluster lights up it is a voltage problem to the speed sensor.

A nother rule of thumb is when you go to fix something and it doesnt work right after words go back to where you put your dick skinners last LOL

x2 on this

I have seen a few speed sensor plugs corrode bad enough to cause intermittent connection problems. It's the three terminal plug on the top side of the tranny.

THE most common problem is a bad cluster...youll have to get a new cluster.
