I think I remember reading that the DX sedan transmissions were geared slightly worse than the hatchback, but I don't know if that would mean it would have a differen sending unit.

Right now I just am using the 93 CX's VSS unit that was already in the trans, but I have been learning a lot from
a thread I started over on honda-tech.com (awesome site, really). Though the 1993 CX was a 13" wheel and that should make a difference, there is no way my 14% figure is correct... around 2% is more likely. I gotta try again.
You are right, from what I have read online, that the sixth gen DX hatch had the same gearing as the CX and HX of that generation... the DX coupes and sedans were a bit shorter at 4.058 FD. But the final drive, the VSS unit, and the gearing generally should have no impact, I'm told on honda-tech in a way that is easily believed. So I'll chart another route tomorrow and continue testing to see what I get. Maybe the old VSS is just lousy... it has been a little bouncy sometimes.
