    Needle won't go past 40 MPH?

    What's up everyone. While I was driving around town today, I hit a bump in a road and my cb7 bottomed out a little bit...Then at the stop light I noticed that my needle gauge stayed stuck at 40mph! My car wasn't even moving! When the light turned green I started to drive slowly and then the needle went back down. I then drove to about 60mph but the speed needle wouldnt go past 40mph???? It just stays at 40 and then goes back down when i am slowing down...Does anyone know what is causing this problem ? When i bottomed out , could that have caused the problem??? Any help would be really appreciated.

    ps. I searched everywhere and I still can't find an answer.

        If you're running aftermarket faces, I gotta agree with ^ and ^^. I had a set come loose in my Corolla one morning, but it hung up at 57. I jumped on the freeway and started working my way through traffic, after I passed the seventh or eighth car, I thought "Why is everyone so slow today? Idiots." After I passed a few more, I thought "Man, my revs sound high this morning, WTF?" (No tach). As soon as I let off the gas and the needle didn't drop, I figured it out.

        If OEM faces, you might look have knocked something loose, check your wiring harnesses, it could be a bad connection.

          I would recommend two of three things to either see if the speed sensor is connected all the way with no loose wires or try going to a junk yard and pull a gauge out of another accord to see if yours is messed up other than that I don't know what to tell u besides good luck.
