like the post said just out of the blue one day my speedometer stopped workin and i looked up stuff on here in the search but it was only someone talkin about his civic. any advice would be greatly appreciated.
 
For 1G cars (not the question, but good info):

well, 3 things.

it could be the gauge, the cable, or the thing on the tranmission.

a test would be to reach back and unscrew the end of the cable from the tranny and spin the center section to see if its broke.

remove the gauge cluster and move the car back and forth and see if the center rod spins. this will tell if its in the gauge is working on not.
if its not spinning. have a friend go outside the car, and spin the center rod on the tranny side, see if it moves in the cockpit.

if it doesnt move, the rod is broken.
if it moves, the thing in the tranny is bad
 
The 2gnt's do not use cables. The 5spd uses a vehicle speed sensor p/n 5015380AA and is about $50.00. It's referred to as a sensor pkg which means it may have a wiring harness and connector that may require soldering in.

The 2gnt auto uses two sensors for transmission speed readings. The Input measures input turbine speed and the output measures output turbine/vehicle speed. When the output speed sensor goes, it will also cause a loss of vehicle speed signal to the electronic/mechanical instrument cluster. The Instrument clusters on the 2gnt use electrical signals (by way of wires only, no cables) to manipulate mechanical gauges on the cluster thus the electro/mechanical cluster terminology.
