Did you check the cable? Or did you reinstall it correctly?

Its a hydro tranny. which cable are you talking about? Is there a wrong way to in stall it.

yeah its kinda weird worked fine one day next it didnt.
Doing some resreach on google, some people where talking about a faulty ignition switch.
What do you think ever heard of that?

ignition switch wouldn't cause the speedometer to not work properly. faulty speedometer sensor on the transmission?

thats what i thought. thank you

why would it register the speed when i am not giving it gas. then i give it gas and it drops to zero. tach works fine.

look for exposed wires? and/or loose connections
