Default Went OffRoading Now Speedo Jumps *fixed* *now* my new teg radiator, destroyed

Well after off roading in my 96 hatch, an hour or two later, my CEL comes on and my speedo bounces around. Ok I think I got to check: fuses, grounds, O2 or VSS Connectors or wires, and last but not least gear thingy inside the transmission for the VSS. Is that everything I check?
Thank You
BiggMike

*it was a fuse for the VSS* but my new integra radiator fell out and got destroyed today and had to go to junkyard and spend $50 for a civic one which is held on with zipties until my other integra one gets in, lesson learned: dont go offroading or fabricate better radiator mounts

I had that problem once. I replaced the cluster and it went away.

Then deal with it. :P I would think at 400,000 miles the whole ------- car needs to be replaced. :P

What's the point of waiting for it to hit 400,000 miles if it's not the actual mileage?

This is a CX right? What motor did you put in it?
