My speedometer doesn't go above 25 mph regardles of how fast I'm driving. I'm trying to find out if this car has a cable or speed sensor so I can replace it.

It has a speed sensor located on the transmission. Here is a picture of what you are looking for.

Let me know if this helps. NOTE: It may actually be the speedo itself. Many times when there is a problem with the speed sensor, the trans won't work properly.
