I pulled a code for my 94 Honda Accord EX AT for a bad speed sensor. Car shows the symptoms of a bad one. Can anyone lead me to a guide for replacing this and also give me the name it's called when you go to all those Honda parts sites? I have a copy of the 94 Honda service manual but can't find the page for this.

Also, is it fine to use an aftermarket or does it really make a difference with OEM? I've heard the OEM part is $130+ while aftermarkets are under $30.

 

Its a pretty simple replacement. The only thing that could make it difficult is getting to it. Its a 3 wire sensor located on the transmission, with 2 bolts holding it on. Simply take the old one off and put the new one on.

I would think an aftermarket one would be fine, but I have never owned one.

 

Thanks. I just found this site:

It shows the VSS in the diagram. So is this easily reachable standing over the car or does it have to be changed from underneath or from the side by taking off the tire? Can you tell me what size the mounting bolts are if you or anyone else can recall? I might go to a U-pull-it yard and take it off myself unless I can get confirmation from someone that and aftermarket one won't cause any problems.

 

You take it off from the top, and probably 8mm bolts.

 

I changed mine two weeks ago and the hard part is removing the screw on the right side. You need a small wrench to go in there extension will not work but i got mine out.. Took 45 minutes for the job to be finished...

there is a small pin that go in the VSS becareful with it, also it need to alignment for it to go in properly.
