Search HAF for threads about speedometer problems and ignition coils. Then when the mechanic tells you what he thinks the problem is, you have a good knowledge base to agree, disagree or suggest that he check something that may be related. If nothing else, the research will help you to not get frustrated by a problem that doesn't seem to make sense. As mentioned, this seems like a coil issue. Either type is not hard to replace and regardless, the cap, rotor, wires and plugs should be changed at the same time, so there is no additional work even if it is internal.

no... the engine is fine, though sometimes i hear a clicking coming from inside the dash (very faint sound though...) I think it has something to do with the little plastic gears that control the needle...

It's definately possible, there are posts on here for faulty speedo's and I believe that there are some recalls and TSB's on the topic. Try searching for your problem ...... car info would help too.

ok... so i replaced the clutch, pressure plate and throwout bearing myself... with ONLY 1 screw-up... i skipped step 8 in the mechanics guide and didn't disconnect the speed sensor from the transmission! haha, so now its sitting in my glove compartment and my car is holding it current value because the miles arent increasing! haha... anyways, the orange wire (data) pulled out of the sensor itself, so that i can hood back up.. the yellow (power) broke back in the engine bay a little bit, but i can connect those again, but the black (ground) is nowhere to be seen, so what im thinking ill do is connect it to a bolt or something near the speed sensor, that way its grounded and it should work!
btw, the ignition coil is on the same curcuit as the speedometer, but it goes to the tach first (and my tach never dies or gives out) so i've concluded that its the speed sensor, and im heading to the dealer to pick up a new one!
oh, and my dad bought the OBD tester for his laptop, so we're gonna plug it in this weekend and find out what codes my car is throwing! (the check engine light is on, but all fluids are ok)
