Sounds like a broken speedo cable, probably. Disconnect the cable from the
back of the speedo and pull it out of it's housing to check. If it is okay,
put it back in, making sure to get it ALL THE WAY back in, and reattach it
to the speedo. Then disconnect the speedo cable from the transmission (a
very messy job, usually) and spin it with an electric drill to see if the
speedo responds.
