Ok here is my problem. I installed a ractive tach directly up the tachometer. The tach works but my speedometer doesn't. I checked the wires on the back of the cluster but everything looks ok and I can't seem to figure out why its not working. I even checked the plug that u have to disconnect to get the cluster out and it looks like it is ok too. Is it possible that something shorted out? Anybody have any suggestions as to how I can fix it??

I believe 93's still used the cable from tranny to show speed; i.e. not electroic. I've heard that mazda switched over in 94...

well we finally figured out the problem last night. The cable that goes to the tranny was not hooked up properly b/c u can barely get to the cable. After pretty much taking the car apart we put it together right. What a pain in the *** Thanks for your guys help.
