Most newer vehicles use hall effect signal to tell the speedometer how fast the vehicle is moving. Basically there is a ring with teeth on it and a sensor that counts the teeth as they go past. The more teeth per second, the faster the vehicle is moving.
There are several things that will cause an electronic speedometer to quit working.
1. (Most common) A defective sensor
2. Stuff stuck to the sensor, Most of the time they have magnets in them and if there is metal in the area it can stick to the sensor.
3. Damaged reluctor ring. (The ring with the teeth on it)
4. Damaged wiring.
5. Bad speedometer head.
6. I am sure I forgot something.....

That sounds like a transmission problem. Mine did the same thing.
