I have the same problem; so far the problem seems to be in the transmission. Maybe the gear that drives the speedometer gear, won't know without taking transmission apart.

What would cause a 1998 Plymouth voyager not to go from second low to drive?

I have had this experience more then once. Your speed sensor is the cause. The transmission changes gear based on the info from this sensor. When defective it doesn't register the speed correctly. To check this, watch your speedometer as you drive. if it is dipping low while you are accelerating then the sensor is bad. You need to have the transmission computer checked for codes. When the computer detects a problem it sets a code and locks the trans in 2nd gear. The output speed sensor mentioned above could be one of dozens of causes.

Why does 1999 Mitsubishi eclipse speedometer not register speed?

I have a 96 that does this. Still tring to figure it out. I just went to a garage and spent 203.00 dollars on a part and labor this part was the speed senser and this did not fix it. im out of money this week, so ill come back and let you know what it was. idk if I'm late here but i had the same problem i am an automotive technician and the problem is that there is a gear inside the transmission on the trans axle that's plastic and it falls off or breaks off one easy way to test this is to take the speed sensor out and then remove the gear from the top of the transmission and take a drill and spin it and see if your speedometer registers. if it does then the problem is the gear inside the transmission. I've changed mine and then it worked!

Why would a speedometer only start to register after getting up to 45mph?

Hey Stormmin===It depends on what kind of car and what year. If it is an electric speedo, it can be the speed sensor or in the head. If it is a manual it is in the head. GoodluckJoe


What would cause the speedometer in your 2002 Hyundai Elantra to not register your speed drops to zero while driving and then start working again?

If it's a cable driven speedo setup, the speed sensor head in the transmission, the gauge in the dash, or the cable connecting the two could be broken/breaking. If it's an electrical speedo, then maybe it's just a loose wire connection somewhere.
