Considering the speedometer shows speed and the car doesnt move, it sounds like a broken drive shaft. Seems odd since those normally go bad on the road, but the reason I say this is the speedometer sensors on 99% of cars are afixed to the final drive of the transmission, right where the axles go in. the tranny is not at fault if the car registers a speed. It has to be somwhere between the output of the tranny and the wheels. Good Luck

What is wrong with the car when the speedometer needle goes crazy and you don't know how fast you're going?
If the speedometer needle is going crazy and not working properly, it is probably the speedometer mechanism that needs to be replaced. It could also mean the vehicle is having a transmission slippage problem if the needle is bouncing back and forth.

I just put 24 inch rims on your 1994 Chevrolet caprice you drove down the street and the abs light on your dash is on how can you fix it and can you still put the rims on?
If you put the stock tires back on and it goes out, this would mean that the system isn't damaged. You probably just have to calibrate the speedometer to accomodate for the bigger tire diameter. I'm pretty sure that this can be done with a hypertech programmer or similar.
What does it mean when your mph stops working?
