What could be wrong if the speedometer stopped working and the transmission will not shift?
It sounds like the VSS (Vehicle Speed Sensor) has failed. If the VSS fails, it can cause the symptoms you are describing. Check the wiring and make sure your VSS is properly plugged in before you replace the VSS. Where the VSS is located can vary depending on Make Model and Year. Check your vehicles Service Manual (Available from auto parts stores, commonly referred to as a "Chiltons Manual" or "Haynes Manual". ALLDATADIY is another good source) for more information.
Some vehicles do not have a Vehicle Speed Sensor, a common example would be a Generation 3 Ford Taurus SHO. The SHO uses the ABS wheel sensors to generate a signal to the computer to calculate speed. If this is the case with your vehicle, it is recommended you take your vehicle to reputable shop for servicing, as the ABS system is a complex and important safety system for your vehicles safe operation.

The speedometer on your 1999 Chrysler Concorde stopped working Where is the speedometer cable at and could that be caused by anything else?
I am not sure if the 1999 is a magnetic pickup but my 2000 or late 1999 uses a magnetic pickup that screws into the side of the transmission. It has a wire plug that unplugs from it and they you can unscrew it from the side of the transmission. When my speedometer quit working it also cause the transmission not to shift correctly. I unscrewed the magnetic pickup and it was covered with iron filing which I removed with a clean cloth. When I screwed the old pickup back in the transmission I made sure it was not in far enough to rub on the gear teeth that rotate by it. The speedometer and the transmission worked fine after removing the iron filings from the end of the pickup.

Your speedometer and odometer suddenly stopped working whats wrong and how do you fix it?
It really depends upon the type of car (year, brand, model, etc.). I had the same issue on a 90 Honda Accord. This particular car had a sending unit on the transaxle (transmission) that failed. The connection from the sending unit to the speedometer is electrical. I replaced the sending unit and all was well. Other cars have a cable that connects from the transmission to the speedometer. If you have this type of car, the problem could be the cable, the gear at the end of the cable that runs off of the transmission or the speedometer itself. More information is needed to provide further details. What type of car do you have? Do you have a manual?

What would make odometer and speedometer not work and transmission not shift right on a 95 ford bronco?
The odometer and speedometer not working, along with transmission shifting issues on a 1995 Ford Bronco, could be caused by a malfunctioning Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS), which provides speed data to both the speedometer and the transmission control module. Additionally, issues with the wiring or connectors related to the VSS, or a failing instrument cluster, could also contribute to these problems. Lastly, low transmission fluid levels or a failing transmission could further complicate shifting performance.
What could cause speedometer to stop working and the transmission will not shift on a 03 Pontiac grand prix?
The speedometer and transmission issues in a 2003 Pontiac Grand Prix could be caused by a malfunctioning vehicle speed sensor (VSS), which provides speed data to the speedometer and transmission control module. Additionally, a faulty wiring connection or a blown fuse could disrupt the signal. Another possibility is a problem with the transmission control module itself, which could prevent the transmission from shifting properly. It's advisable to diagnose the issue with a scan tool to check for error codes related to these components.
