Download the appropriate FSM from zeroyon.com and look for it in the EC section. It's called a Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS).

speed sensor is in the middle of the tranny held in by one bolt. Are you using the auto sensor on the 5spd? If so, I dont think it would work properly. Someone correct me if I am wrong.

See, I knew for some reason it wouldnt, but just like you, thought he should give it a shot. xKa24detx is right though, you dont need to use the speedo. Im only using the tach on my SR (cuz I forgot to swap the damn KA 5spd sensor) and Im fine...just scary around cops, but just go as fast as everyone else. He cant pull over the whole damn road can he?!?!
