We have a 98 and it seemed that sometimes it wouldn't shift right, and the speedometer would all of a sudden stop.I would drop it down to second gear and it would stop, and straighten out. Quiestion to you: Do you have a check engine light on? If so, take it to your nearest Auto Zone, have them do test on it. 9 times out of ten it will proboly say it's the speed sensor. Try that.

If the spedometer is not working and the traansmision will not shift out of second it means the speed sensor is bad, unpluged or the wiring for it is damaged. The shif6ts are controled by the ECM (computer) and if does not know the speed of the car, it will not shift.

What could make a speedometer not work in a 1995 jeep grand Cherokee?

I'm not 100% certain, but I believe that model year still uses a mechanical speedometer, in which case, it's likely either your speedometer cable or faulty gears in the speedometer itself. If it is electronic - which is possible, as again I'm not 100% certain that the 95 uses a mechanical speedometer - and the rest of your gauges are working, there'll be a speed sensor on the transmission with an electrical pigtail running to it... faulty sensors or faulty wiring are the probable causes.
