check the speedo sensor, its on the transmission. Pull is it out check it, follow the wire back and see if there are any crossed or breaks.

Assuming you have a S13 89-90 like me that is. this should give you an idea where it should be on your Manual transmission.

ah ok, wooh is a little expensive to be a speedometer sensor; another thing that cause the problem??

Hey, everything from that website is expensive. Best chance is to take a look at the car.

check your odometer(mileage), if it's working, chances are u have a bad speedometer head. If odometer is not working, I would test the speed sensor at transmission. remove it & visually check the gears if they are worn. Check the wiring connection . While it's out, check the voltage betweentwo terminals,while turning it by hand, u should get approx. 0.5 volt AC.Remember to set ur digital voltmeter to AC not DC.

try rock auto.com or buy it used. i think the 91 93 have the same one as you

look up speed sensor in tutorials

another thing, i have the sr20det, it's same sensor???

they have to be similar or else the speedo wouldnt read right, but i doubt they are identical.. not alot of ka and sr parts are interchangeable, but you could always go to a junkyard and try and find a KA trans, the sensor is held in by 1 bolt in the transmission.. comes out real easy, i always thought it looked like the KA distributor. ha
