Possibly your speed sensor. My speedometer would bounce around & then soon after it felt like my transmission was slipping. Turns out the speed sensor controls the upshift in your transmission.
If by this you mean only "hot heat" when drive at highway speeds likely thermostat bad and/or almost stuck and takes long time warm up from high engine RPM during highway driving.
Most likely the speed sensor is on its way out.
Once you have achieved highway speed, you would stay in the highest gear, except for steep uphill or downhill grades.
The speedometer cable is likely bad
most likely a vacuum leak
Most likely speedometer cable
No, but you have to be within the speed limit, so... why would you not have one?Another View: ALL equipment associated with the safe operation of the vehicle must in operating condition - this includes the speedometer. How else would you know how fast you were driving?
Yes it is much more likely that the problem is with the speed sensor than the guage or the computer.
The speedometer on a 1996 Honda Accord EX is the pulse variety. It is likely that the teeth on the speedometer gear are not meshing properly.
no However, you will very likely be fined for speeding, for not knowing what speed you are going without a speedometer!
Pump is bad, most likely requires a rebuild or replacement transaxle.
Travelling via the Pacific Highway is quicker. From Sydney to the Gold Coast via the Pacific Highway is a distance of 851km, with a driving time of around 11 hours (without breaks). Although one is more likely to encounter roadworks on this route, new bypasses that take a traveller around some towns have continued to improve travel time along the Pacific Highway. From Sydney to the Gold Coast via the New England Highway (taking in the towns of Warwick and Armidale) is a distance of 1001km, with a driving time of around 13.5 hours (without breaks).
