it sounds like to me that something is grounded out somewhere man check that out and get back with me {any wires.... anywhere}.

 

i have not had a chance to take a good look at it yet, classes and workin shit, but im starting to belive the connetion to the tranny is just loose, because under hard acceleration it will jump, and i missed 3rd real bad and it started working for about 2 min then stoped again. im going to try and get under it to take a look tomorrow. ill let you guys know, thanks for the imputs..

 

My car did the exact same thing, It would jump all over the place, from10mph to 120 to 60, then 0, sometimes it wouldn't work at all for a long time, I changed the VSS and it fixed the problem, Look on your tranny just behind your starter, there should be a 2/3wire plug back there that hooks onto a sensor that has 1-2 10mm bolts holding it down, some of the sensors come aparts in 2 peices( bottom peice is the mech part. top peice is the elec part) You can pick one up for about $40 on Ebay, my car is a 99 SI and I am using a sensor for a 94 accord. Im like 80% sure that your car has a VSS, look and see, look it up on ebay, search for VSS with your car modle. good luck..

 

i searched around on shop key and there are no vss's on my rs, only the legend, its a mechanical cable, the first thing im going to do is what therainfoest said is check the continuity on the speedometer pulsar and see if its bad. if so then no prob if not, then i will find a jack somewheres and start looking where it goes to the tranny. ill keep you updated.

 

If you can pull the cable up, out of the housing from
behind the speedo, it's the cable.

As to getting the dash loose, first; to get there,
pop off the contriol knobs,
and pop out the 3 square switches. There's a screw holding
something down, somewhere on the right side._Bob

 

cable probly broke

 

well it starts to work under heavy acceleration, so.. mybe juust lose? but fellow da owner, would you happen to know where that cable goes into the tranny?

 

some how magicly it works now, i have not even had a chance to look at it. i ran the piss out of it taking some one for a ride and then it started working.bad/loose connection.

 

expensive and creative route: convert to a vss and get another cluster.
cheap way.. get a hold of a new cable
