Is the VSS in the 93 in the transmission, or in the instrument cluster? On my 90 CRX, there was a spinning cable from the trans to the gauge cluster, and the VSS was actually in the cluster. I was never clear if the VSS ran the speedometer or just signalled the engine management system.

I know that in the mid-2000s, the VSS was in the transmission and the speedo and odometer were driven by electronic signals directly.

Anyway, if the odometer is mechanical, the gears that drive it could be stripped. I have fixed odometers in mechanical speedos in my "other car" by repairing a stripped gear. I'd be less confident in fixing a newer odometer, even if it is purely mechanical, but it is at least be worth a look.
