Top of the transmission...
It does not have a speedometer gear. The speedometer is electronic and gets its signal from the ABS and transmission computers from the wheel speed and transmission speed sensors.It does not have a speedometer gear.

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.
2.3L of gear oil, Motul Gear 300 or Redline MT-90 or similar, 3 quarts
The manual transmission on a Jetta does not have a traditional dipstick. The fill plug is located on the left side near the front. If the oil reaches the bottom of the filler plug hole, the oil level is correct.
The drive gear is in the tail shaft of the transmission. The driven gear is on the end of the speedometer cable housing.
The manual transmission in an Escort is a Mazda built unit. Like most Mazda manual trannies, it uses Mercon or Dexron fluid, which is a very common, generic automatic transmission fluid. It's often sold as "multi purpose" atf.On most models, the fluid is added through the speedometer cable hole; the speedometer cable and gear have to be removed to fill it. You remove a single small bolt, and then you should be able to pull the cable and gear out of the top of the transmission. Often it is stuck.The speedometer gear can be used as a dipstick for the fluid level - it should touch but not completely cover the gear.
At the top the speedometer cable is connected to a little gear in the speedometer guage, and on the bottom end it is connected to a little gear in the car's transmission.
broken cable? Broken gear at transmission end? Broken gear at speedometer head?

If your transmission is manual, you will have to change gear. If it is automatic, you won't.
the synchronize in the transmission is bad, that why the jumping out of fifth gear
