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.

Why does your car starts but when you give it gas it doesn't move even when you rev the engine?
If you put the vehicle in gear but it doesn't engage, you probably have a problem with the transmission. Check the transmission fluid level first, but don't try to drive it if it won't engage. If it's just low on fluid you might be ok, otherwise, see a transmission shop. It could also be a disconnected CV joint. To determine whether it is the transmission or CV joint, there are two simple tests. The first is to shift the vehicle into Drive and watch the speedometer while you push down on the accelerator. If the speedometer moves, then the problem is the CV joint, not the transmission. The second test is to put the car in Neutral and push the car. If the car rolls, then put the car in Park and push again. If the car rolls forward, then the problem is the transmission. If it does not move forward, then it is the CV Joint.
How do you repair a speedometer cable on a 1979 camaro?
You don't you replace it with a new one. You have to pull the instrument cluster off and disconnect the speedo cable from the back of the speedometer. what I usually do is either duct tape the two cables together (overlapping) or tie them together with parachute cord. Then slowly start pulling the old cable (make sure the cables stay together) and make sure the new cable feeds into the same hole in the firewall and channels and then plug the small gear into the transmission. Just remember to check the speedo cable at both ends, some cars are easier to start feeding at the speedometer end first others feed easier from the transmission end first.

It is possible. Most new vehicles have a sensor attached to the transmission that tell the speedometer how fast the vehicle is traveling. I suggest checking, or having the sensor checked first.
Why wont transmission shift out of first on 96 dodge caravan and peedometer does not work?
The speed sensor sends a signal to the speedometer to show the correct speed and it sends a signal to the transmission telling when to shift. If the speed sensor is bad the speedometer will not work and the transmission will not shift correctly.
