HI,
HAVE A 98 ACCORD 4-DR 4CYL AUTO. THE CAR HAS HAD A NEW TRANSMISSION RECENTLY (DIFFERENT OWNER). THE CAR SEEMS TO BE GOING SLOWER THAN THE SPEEDOMETER READS. GOING 65 AND TRAFFIC IS PASSING BY. MAYBE 5-10 MILES AN HOUR OFF. TIRES ARE CORRECT SIZE FOR CAR WITH GOOD TREAD. COULD THERE BE A WRONG GEAR AT END OF SPEEDOMETER CABLE???? CAN SOME ONE TELL ME WHAT TO LOOK FOR?????? THX KEN

 

VSS may be faulty. Have someone pace you in another car and tell you what your speed is.

Car does not have a speedo cable ever since about 1990 the accords have electronic transmissions and use a VSS to run the speedo and tell the trans when to shift

 

I WAS GOING TO HAVE SOME ONE PACE ME TO GET A BETTER READING ,,,. THX'S.... WHAT DOES VSS STAND FOR AND WHAT DO NEED TO REPLACE IF THATS THE PROBLEM OR IS IT INTERNAL TO THE TRANS.......,,, THX KEN

 

Make sure the tires are the stock size.
