It could be anything from a vehicle speed sensor (common problem) to a servo, to wiring, ground, internal trans issues or the speedometer cable if it has one.I would have to suggest that you take it to a shop to get it diagnosed, the tests require some pretty expensive equipment. It would be cheaper to pay to have atleast the diag done by a shop.
