Some speedometers have a cable that connects the drive gear in the transmission to the drive gear in the speedometer. The cable can break or the gears can strip.

Some speedometers have a wire that sends an electrical signal from a sensor in the transmission to an electronic head unit. The wire can break, the connector can fail or become disconnected, or the head unit can fail.

Why is my revometer and speedometer and tempture gage drop while driving?

A drop in your revometer, speedometer, and temperature gauge while driving could indicate a problem with your vehicle's electrical system, such as a failing alternator or a weak battery. It might also suggest issues with the vehicle's Instrument Cluster, wiring, or sensors that provide data to these gauges. Additionally, overheating can cause a drop in performance, which might affect these readings. It's advisable to have your vehicle checked by a mechanic to diagnose the issue accurately.
