speedometer cable broken, HELP!

can anyone explain the mechanism of the speedometer cable behind the cluster? I mean, how does it work actually? I think I broke mine when I yank out the cluster, the cable is now separated from the connector. is there a way to fix this except buying a new one? thanks a lot.

i had the same problem and tried fixin it , a week later it didnt work again, go to acura new cable is $29.75

thanks for letting me know. BTW, did you have your check engine light on after you broke your speedo cable?

You will trip the CEL if the cable is broke. I believe its a code 17 VSS …replace the cable and reset the ecu and you should be fine.

yeah the cel comes on after i start drivin

thank you for the info. that’s exactly what I found out after reading the Helm manual this AM. you may want to check my other post regarding CEL for the details that I found.
