Ok remove the speed sensor and put a drill on the piece that sticks out of it then rotate the piece with the drill and turn the key on does your speed work then ??

Customer replied910 days and 10 hours ago.

the sensor is a solid piece of black plastic, there are no moveable parts?

Look on the inside of the sensor you should be able to spin the black piece in the middle we put a drill on it

Customer replied910 days and 10 hours ago.

oh ok I thought it was a different sensor, I have to step away for an hour, I will try and see if that works when I return

Ok, Sorry for the delay, yes when I put the drill on the tip of the sensor the speedometer worked fine

Ok then the issue you have is that the speedo in the transmission has split in half you will need to open up the transmission to replace this piece very common issue . I hope this helps.
