Finished my swap a couple of weeks ago, car guns great; knock on wood. I can proudly say I’m happy with my decision to go with the CA. But unfortunately I still have one last thing to fix, my speedometer isn’t reading at all; iv been trying to sort out this problem on my own for the past week with no progress. Sense the speed sensor and the cluster both worked fine before I did the swap, I’m pretty sure they are not part of the problem. If any body reading this have had a similar problem, or may have a guess as to what may be the problem please feel free to put your two cents in; iv ran out of ideas to a possible fix, so any input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.

One of two things are the problem--

Either the VSS (speed sensor) got broken when you swapped it from the KA transmission to the CA.

Or, you incorrectly wired the speedo wire to the dash plug.
