Answer
This is one I have not seen yet. Check the black speedometer cable where it comes thru the firewall under the brake booster and make sure that the transmission gear linkage is not interferring with the cable as it is possible that it may be stretching the cable.

Next would be to remove the 10 mm bolt from the transmission and pull the cable out of the transmission and check the gear on the end of the cable and check the gear in the transmission and see if you can move the one in the transmission.
