on the top left of the trans there is a speedo sensor for electronic speedos and tachs. (Assuming your speedo is electronic and not cable driven)

If so remove the allen and pry it out gently with a flat blade screwdriver, you will see tons of metal shavings on it as it's a magnet.

Wipe with a clean papertowel, and don't use your fingers as it's sharp metal shards. Watch the o ring and don't cut it.

Push back in the trans and pull back out, reclean, do a couple of times it will pick up more shavings.

This should fix the speedo, if it doesn't then it's possible the sensor is bad.
