check the cable that plugs into the back of the speedo, you can reach your hand up there without taking out the cluster if you are flexable enough. if thats ok then you need to check the other end of that cable, where it screws into the trans.

The large gray cable running through the firewall, by the brake booster, is the speedometer cable. If you stuff yourself under the driver-side dash, you'll be able to see it come through the firewall, near the steering column and pedals. Make sure it's actually plugged in there, as well as at the rear of the transmission like jay-red suggested.
