I'd check the VSS (vehicle speed sensor).

I had the same problem. It was the speed sensor. I just had to pull it out and clean it off. It is magnetic and had small iron shavings on it.

Sonny,
You could try to see what happens to the needle when you put 12v to pin 12 and ground to pin 8 at the speedometer (see this wiring diagram)?
