There are times the a Odometer cable wares out and breaks or your speedometer broke. I would try changing the cable first it's cheaper.

Check the vehicle speed sensor in the transmission.

It would actually be the cable if cable driven

Is your Cruise Control Inoperative as well? If so, then replace the VSS....Vehicle Speed Sensor

If I'm not mistaken, there is a cable that goes to the side if the transmission that has a plastic gear on it. The gear sits on the end of the cable in the side of the transmission and the teeth can get broken off. It's a fairly cheap part and not too hard to fix with common tools. Call the dealer and see if you have this type of cable and get the repacement part from Advance Auto. I dont believe the 89's were electrically controlled. If so, you might have a bad speed sensor module.

The first thing to do would be to remove the cable at the trany and spin the inner part of the cable and see if speedometer moves a little, if it moves then you will know the cable is good and so is the speedometer and the problem is the gear in the trany, remove the small housing that the cable screws into amnd there you will see a gear, remove the clip and slide the gear off and replace it with a new one, you should be able to seee the gear teeth worn out,but is the speedo doesnt move when you turn the cable then the cabl may be bad, slide cable out by pulling it, and look for thee broken end. hope this helps.

I did nothing and the speedometer is working again. So now what do you think?
Today spedometer was working for ten miles then quit. After stopping at a light it started working then quit again.
