Try disconecting the speedometer cable and squirt some lube in it. It might have dried out.

Why would the speedometer stick at zero and the transmission refuse to shift out of first on a cold 94 Taurus?
MIGHT NEED A NEW SPEED SENSOR I posted the original question. I paid to have the symptoms diagnosed. It was actually a worn plastic gear set on the end of the speed sensor / speedometer cable and the mating gear in the transmission. The one inside the transmission requires tear-down of entire transmission... bad news.

Insulate the speedometer cluster, there's too much electrical "noise" surrounding it. That causes the signals to get confused; happens on all fords and AMCs that I know over time.

Okay well I have a 1999 Ford Taurus and I have heard that when a Taurus reaches about 120,000 miles the tranny is bound to fail.

Why would 1997 Ford Taurus speedometer stop working and now your car will not accelerate?
Had the same problem off and on in my 1999 Taurus. The speedometer needs to be replaced. The problem is in the speedometer and not the transmission like I was initially led to believe. My mechanic said it wasn't that big of a repair.Coincidentally, the vehicle speed sensor feeds information to both the speedometer and the transmission....See "Related Questions" below for more
