I'm pretty sure they are cable driven. Often the plastic gear that the speedo cable plugs into in the gauge will wear out and fail. But before assuming that, check the cable itself. If isn't broken than it's probably the gauge in the cluster.

This is very common on the 1996 Ford Escort unfortunately. Basically the speedometer cable has to be re-greased or the speedometer has to be replaced with the older 80mph model. Both "fixes" require disassembly of the dash to get to the cable/speedometer. See the ford escort owners association for more details/instructions.
