Mechanical speedo troubles!

Hey everyone, I have an 80MPH speedo and odometer connected to a T-5 that doesn't work. Basically I did the trick where I connected a drill to the cable to see if that was the issue. What happened when I did that was the odometer worked but the speedo did not. The odometer/speedo doesn't work when the car is being driven. However I put the drill in reverse and the speedo moved back about an inch(below 0) but other than that nothing works. Only the odometer on the drill trick. What is wrong here? Is it a combination of the speedo/driven gear. Please help!
