If this is a early vehicle then the speedo drive cable may have broken. If a 1990 and up then the VSS may be bad. It lives on top of the transmission and sends electrical signal to the speedo via the ECU.

Intermittent gauges usually mean a bad ground connection for the gauges. Things to check: look for multiple ground connections at one screw to chassis frame & tighten it; check large connector at rear of instrument cluster for good connection; replace gauges fuse - it can be cracked. If none of those work, than instrument cluster circuit board will probably have to be replaced - which means removing the cluster.
It looks to me you need a new or remanufactured cluster but ... find a wiring diagram for that cluster and with a test light checks the + wires(sometimes there is more than one +) and the ground on the wiring diagram. You will need to remove the cluster itself for the backprobe wire's test at the cluster terminals.
Chwct under your hood, you have switch on transmision box, unplug it and shortconnect it with a piece of wire, thew if the lights go on, you need to change that switch.
