speedo head unit is bad , broken cable or drive gear or driven gear in tranny are bad.....these are the most likely things to go wrong, you can pull the cluster and unsnap cable from back of speedo unit and start car up and drive it and see if cable turns, if so then it'd be most likely a bad speedo unit, cables were common to break too

haha, speedo not working... boys dont like the color eh? hahaha


do a visual check first, at teh tranny. see if the cable. mine didnt have the retaining click thing and it popped out. if its still plugged in then try MJR's to verify if the unit is bad or if the cable broke.
