1993 Honda civic speedometer & odometer work intermittently

Speedometer & odometer work intermittently on my 1993 Honda civic. They can work fine then all of a sudden stop together then will start working again.. I've also noticed that the light on D4 will work only on occasion and wonder if this is connected. All other gauges are working fine. I only recently bought the car and had the cambelt changed and it was after that it seemed to start doing this. Can this be at all related? I have also noticed that the automatic transmission can sometimes on occasion change a gear a little bit roughly. Can this all be related?

The only thing that is related is the d4/rough gear changing
speed/ rpm malfunction is caused by your speed sensor on the trani (common problem) change it

Car speedo & odometer sometimes work OK, other times not at all.

Most likely a speed sensor is going bad (most cars and truck do not use mechanical speedometer cables anymore) most sensors are located near the differential in rwd cars or near the drive shaft on the transmission. Best bet is to get a Haynes manual for your car to help locate the speed sensor. Remove it and take it to the auto parts store so you can visually compare it to the replacement. Install the new speed sensor and it should restore your speedometer and odometer.

1995 honda civic dx

Look on the wiring harness it plugs in on top of the transmission
make sure all the wires are together. If every thing is ok with the wiring, The sensor is the only thing it could be. A gook used spedometer sensor from the junk yard will work this sensor dosent take a lot of abuse so a good used one will be cheap and work just fine. This is a job you can do your self and save a lot of money. I had the same problem with my 95 civic
