Hi cowboyforlife

If the VSS ( Vehicle Speed Sensor) is damaged or broken then it would cause your speedometer not to work.

Hi Cowboy and welcome to TSF,

Octane man is right on target (as he normally is). The sensor in question is mounted on the back of the transmission to measure the rotation of its output shaft.

Happy 4th to the both of you,
