The speedometer of my 1987 Acura Integra recently just stopped working (
as did the odometer). I presume the speedometer cable broke and needs
replacing. I have the service manual and it has a diagram of the
instrument cluster, so I think there should be no problem in
disconnecting that end, but I could not find out what to do at the other
end. Anybody done this, and could give me advice?

Thanks a lot!

At speed sensor in the transmission, pull the rubber boot back on the cable.
There should be a wire clip that you can pull off with a hook or needle
nose. After removing the clip you should be able to just pull the cable
straight up off of the speed sensor.
