2000 Cirrus with 2.5l

Speedometer is my Cirrus stopped working while driving; it pegged past
120mph then when back to zero. Odemeter still works and transmission
shifts normally. Couple of years ago I had to replace the speed sensor
on the transmission but the symptom was somewhat different; the
transmission would not shift out of first and the speedometer did not
work. Any ideas?

Possibly the circuit board or gauge?

Maxpower may have a good point. Maybe try and push on the cluster as you
are driving. My 96 Neon had a guage - dash problem, after living with it
for several years I pulled the circuit board and found cracks at the
solder joints where it plugs into the car harnesses. resoldered all the
joints on the circuit board and has worked fine ever since....
