The speedometer is driven by two cables. The lower cable usually fails (breaks) at the transmission connection.

Remove the lower cable at trans. then at connection to upper cable. Toyota sells replacement cables $60 or so if memory serves.

You will have to remove the intake and air cleaner housing to get good access to the cable.
