The speedo cable on the 89 prelude is a 2 piece unit. One part originates at the transmission, from the speed sensor unit or something like that. This part mates with the other half midway along the rear side of the valve cover. The second half winds its way to and through the firewall on the drivers side and comes into the cabin just above the clutch pedal or where it would be if an automatic. Here it snakes up and clips onto the back of the gauge cluster. The part that goes into the cabin is easy to disconnect from the cluster but a pain to work out of the firewall. The first half can be a real pain to get the securing clip off the speed sensor to release it. The Chilton's manual does a good job of representing this. Hope this helped.

Since you replaced the sensor, and the speedometer still isn't working it is possible that you will need to replace the speedometer cable. Check the cable first to be sure that it is still properly connected, and if so replace the cable to see if that solves the problem.
