Hmm. You may have reset the error code. MIL (Check Engine) codes are usually P followed by four numbers, like P1234. If the failure returns, don't play with the key. Use a code reader, or go to an auto parts store (Advance Auto, AutoZone, O'Reilly) and they will read the codes for you and tell you what they mean, for free.

Up to this point in time, mechanic 1 has only done some maintenance work on the car. Things that would be done from time to time to maintain the car.
Since you have lost trust in this mechanic, I would go to a different place and have them diagnose the codes. If the second place gives you the same recommendation you can decide what to do.
You can tell the second place you are getting a second opinion, or not.

Speedometer and odometer not working

I would look at the ignition switch and the neutral safety switch for voltage. It could be the ignition switch is worn out and not making contact with all of the circuits. The neutral safety switch would be affected by moving the shifter.

Check and make sure you are getting power to the ignition switch and to the stator wire on the starter. Turn the key on and and measure the volts going to the starter on both wires. You should a atleast 12 volts going to the stator wire and to the main wire from the battery. If you are not getting power there it could be a fuseable link in the power wire from the ignition. I noticed that you replaced the ignition switch make sure the rod from the key switch has not come out of the switch.
