Hmm, that works? If your odometer works i would suggest trying another cluster, the actual speedo itself may be pooped. ---

Swap out the spedo in the cluster and that should solve your problem. ---

Sounds like a short or loose connection. Check the wiring up to the harness from the tranny, and under the dash. And please, for the love of English, try to spell better and use punctuation. Please? ---
