There is a cotter pin.

 

[Trix]

More of a C-clip, but yeah... May have to go snatch one from pick n pull lol

 

[Trix]

well i looked at it, before i put it in and didnt see anything may have to call the parts store and see about getting one

Yea, I guess that's a better way to describe it.

Buy one from Acura/Honda dealership for like $3.68.

i thought there would be one with it, and how does it connect to the cable since the cable looks like there isnt a place for one

 

[Trix]

this is what im talking about guys... is this the way the cotter pin is supposed to go on it?? since it looks like there is no need for one, since the wire is in there and you have to pull to get the damn thing out

 

[Trix]

ok cable was ran and plugged in, but yet the speedo isnt working, is there a special way the cable has to be ran for it to work, there wasnt any kinks in the cable either

 

[dlo253]

Make sure it's pushed in all the way. Sometimes it can seem like it is, but really it has a bit more to go.

 

[Trix]

ok will do dlo, also is there a special way for it to go in, since the part has i guess you can call it a bump lol

 

[BrokenTalon27]

Are you sure that the cable isn't broken inside the sheathing? And that the VSS is operating correctly?

 

[Trix]

well broken i took the cable out of my car to see if it was i rotated on side and the whole cable inside spun, but thats what i was just doing research about the vss, just not sure where its at, unless its what you connect the speedo cable to?

Just pulled mine today actually. That C clip goes down on the metal surround actually. There is a groove for it. Also of note. If you look at the tip of the cable, there is a flat end to it. That has to catch inside a related groove inside the seat.
