The speedo is driven by the PCM, which counts pulses from the Vehicle Speed Sensor, which is driven by the output shaft on the transmission. I'd start by checking the connections at the VSS, and go from there.

Live well,

It's always sweet when a fix is quick, easy, and inexpensive. It's also pretty rare. Congrats!
