Speedometer Not working?
 
I just finished installing my Transmission clutch and A new Steal Braided Clutch Line for my RX and Took it out on the road.
Runs Beautifully But I looked down to see how fast I was moving.
And Low and Behold the Speedometer wasn’t Moving.
Last time I was Under the car I did Put the Cable back into the Transmission, and to the Best of my Knowledge Its on there correctly.
Any Idea’s?
:suspect:

check the cable where it bolts to the tranny.

That is the ONLY thing that operates the speedometer, so somewhere along the line its not connected/broken.

If the connection at the tranny seems fine, and the gear on the speedo cable seems fine, make sure its connected to the back of the cluster.

Your best bet is to check the connection to the tranny.

I say this because shortly after buying my the speedo stopped working. The cable looked new and it was connected to the back of the cluster but when I unplugged the tranny side I discovered the little gear had been pulled off. (I'm guessing due to improper installation since the P.O. did a bunch of other shit wrong as well) So pull it out and take a look
