Check the speedo cable, see if it's loose or something.

Re: Question

If the speedo cable isn't loose then the spring that holds the drive gear in the rear section of the trans may have worked its way off.

Re: Question

There is a gear on the tail shaft of the transmission which is held there by a spring. That drives another gear, which on a cable driven car goes to the speedo, or to a sensor that sends a pulse. It all depends on the type of trans you have. You didn't state in your first post whether you have a manual or automatic.
