When your speedometer is broken will it cause any other malfunctions?
On cars with an electronically controlled transmission, the answer is yes. The transmission may not shift properly.
The Check Engine Light came on and the transmission seemed to stop shifting properly and the speedometer is not working?
Bad speed sensor.
What would cause a 1991 Mazda Protege to have a blinking hold light and a non-functional speedometer?
The speedometer cable (which runs from the transmission to the dashboard) has snapped. This is a two-piece cable, and the one-piece cable in later Proteges will not work. I had the transmission replaced, and the cable could never be fit in properly. This is a mechanical speedometer, so you would have to change the entire speedometer part of the instrument panel to use a magnetic/electronic speedometer.
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.
What could be the problem on a 1993 Honda Civic VX If the speedometer odometer intermittently works and you have replaced the speed sensor on the transmission?
The cable that controls the speedometer needs to be replaced more than likely. That is what had to be done to a Dodge Stealth's speedometer to work properly. ==New Answer == Actually - there is no speedometer/odometer cable on a 1993 Honda. The system is all-electrical. So it has to be either a bad wiring harness/plug connector, OR a bad speedometer head (unlikely).

The speedometer on a 1996 Honda Accord EX is the pulse variety. It is likely that the teeth on the speedometer gear are not meshing properly.
What is causing my 2000 Dodge neon to not shift out of low gear and the speedometer works and quits?
try replacing the output speed sensor on the transmission housing. Just a small part (about $30 at auto parts stores), it screws into the transmission housing and sends a signal to the computer. Without this signal, computer cannot decide what to do with speedometer and cannot shift transmission properly. I replaced one on my daughter's 1999 Plymouth Breeze, with the same engine as the Neon. She had the exact symptoms you do, and it solved them all.
What would cause the speedometer not to work as well as the car staying in low gear on a 2000 dodge stratus?
Most likey the speedometer gear in the transmission. It sends a signal to inform the computer of speed so it can shift properly. Check to make sure the electrical connector is firmly attached. The speedometer gear may require replacement, but it's important to be sure it's not a wiring problem first.
