There is always some piece of vehicle information people fail to provide us when requesting help.
Please be more specific folks and providfe all the information possible on your vehicles.

the vss is located a top of the manual transmission, near the fire wall, there are two sending units on the transmission,the first one is the reverse light sending unit, and the other one is the vss,

I think your mechanic is talking about a VSS (Vehicle Speed Sensor). Are you having trouble with your gauges, speedometer, or shifting points, etc...?

The Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) is located underneath the thermostat housing.

1. Disconnect the 3-P connector from the vehicle speed sensor (VSS).
2. Remove the mounting bolts, then remove the VSS.
   NOTE: The VSS drive link is a very small part, be careful not to lose it.
3. Install in the reverse order of removal.

check the connection from speedometer to transaxle. Often this becomes loose, especially the transaxle side. Also 92 was a first year model and have heard many wacky problems.

Try tracing the wiring harness to the bundle under the intake. It is attached to a large metal bracket. The wiring has probably worn bare. Wrap the bundle with electrical tape and try to isolate it from the bracket better. I have repaired several intermitten speedos on 92-95 Civics due to this.

yes it will matter that the switch is v tec....AND I WOULD REPLACE THAT SHIFT SOLENOID AS WELL ...THE THROTTLE POSITION USUALLY ISNT THE PROBLEM WITH THIS PARTICULAR MODEL..first the v.s.s and the shift solenoid is most likely the culprit

I would check fuses first, locate speed sensor on the transmission second and see if wires are ok. vss dosnt usuall go out unless its shorted to power

?? Does it move on the road ? You could have a worn out CV joint that allows the transmission to free-wheel. If that is the case, replace immediatly, or the transmission differential will fail.
