82 T/A Speedometer Issues

Hi all,

I have an 82 T/A with only 33k miles. About a month ago, I took the car out (I don't drive it very often) and noticed for the first time that the speedometer was jiggling at lower speeds and seemed a bit notchy. I thought that the speedo cable needed to be lubed, so I took it to a professional shop that I very much trust and they lubed the cable (watched them do it). Unfortunately, the speedometer was still a bit notchy, but I didn't think much of it.

Now, today, I took the car out on the freeway and the speedometer is now reading 0mph. The odometer is also not turning.

Is this because the speedometer cable itself broke or is there something internally wrong with the speedometer? Can anyone help? I don't want to drive the vehicle while the odometer is not turning and the TCC can't lock up.

Don't post your question in multiple forums, we HATE that here. One is good enough.
Mod - lock pls?
