vehicle speed censor

well my speedo went this week. anyone know where the censor is located, and how it can be replaced. Is it even worth it to do it myself?

TIA
-Chris

VSS - located on top of the tranny....if you do a search there is some threads on this, and some pics as well.. ( i know cause I've posted them )

fairly easy to change by yourself...

You got a 90 Civic.. it's a mechanical cable. There is no VSS. Check and see if the cable's poped out of the tranny. It's in the back, by the firewall, beside the rear mount.

yes - check that the cable didn't come out of the tranny also check that the cable isn't broken

This just happened to mine 2 weeks ago on my 90 si

I found out that it was a broken cable - $38.51 from Honda

and my check engine light only came on like 5 times - I thought there was something else wrong but.....nope it was the cable
