The speedometer gear housing was probably not rotated enough to get
the
speedometer gear to mesh completely with the pinion gear that drives
it.
I'd pull the gear to check its condition and if it's ok, reinstall
it
and make sure to rotate the housing so the gear is fully engaged. Be
sure to match the speedo gear's tooth count with the index mark on the

housing.
