Your speedometer gear may have bit the dust and
needs to be replaced.It is not uncommon for speedometer
gears to become worn or chewed up over time.

I can relate. On my 98 GT, it reads fine up to like 55-60 ... but then if I punch it, it wraps to 150. In fact, right now it's stuck under the pin that it is supposed to sit on. The only way I can get it to wrap back around is to go like 130 (or take the cluster out). I just figured that the needle was spinning inside the gauge needle then catching ... It is hella annoying!
