Yes I can tell you how to fix this problem. There is a driver chip in the electronics for the speedometer that goes bad, I have seen this many times. The solution is to either repair or replace the speedometer. There are salvage yards that have complete clusters or look in the phone book for a local speedo/tach repair facility. Send me an E-mail or a PM and I will recommend one to you.
