Check the connection to your VSS (vehicle speed sensor).....and search

Unplug it and look for rust/corrosion on the little pins and make sure the wires are still plugged into the harness correctly. Also remove the VSS itself and inspect it...you'll need a loooooooooooooooooooooooong extension, but it's just one 10mm bolt.

If everything looks fine, then plug it back in tightly and see if that helps. I jacked with this same problem myself for like 2 yrs before I finally go it 100% fixed

I had kinda the same problem. My speedo would work until i reached 35mph and then it would fall to zero. Or sometimes it would keep bouncing back and forth from 0 to whatever my speed i was going. It turned out that the harness had somehow gotten loose
