well, maybe because its broken.... In all honesty if just the spedometer just stopped and not the rpm scale then u need to bring that to a dealer so they can fix it :)
the speedometer on my 97 toyota camary stopped working and the check engine light came on why
have you checked the gears in the final drive of the gear box and the sensor. (if it is electric) they are made from plastic in my 20 years experience i have seen this problem many times. (garage owner and mechanic).

Speedometer cable broken, disconnected.... change your VSS (vehicle speed sensor)User User:Jfg637wrote:Before you even go that route check your fuses. I have had a 96 Taurus since 97.

Replace the dash cluster that's what it sounds like to me since your tachometer and speedometer both don't work
sounds like a broken speedometer cable.
on my 85 nissan,the dial indicator is cracked,i was told i would have to buy a whole new speed ometer,so i use my tacometer to tell me my speed.,no speeding ticket so far,upp i need to knock on wood.
What happens with the speedometer is that the speed sensr wares down and has to be replaced. The speed sensor is located to the back of the engine. Take the clip off, then take a 10mm socket and take the bolt holding the speed sensor to the engine off. Then replace the sensor with a new one bolt it into place. Put the clip back on and it should work. The speed sensor is one of the main reasons why it doesnt work.
does the speedometer effect the transmission
It doesn't have a speedometer cable. The speed is calculated by the transmission computer using it's output speed sensor.
