That probably should have been the first step!  The odometer was not moving
either?   Look at the cable(s) and the square hole in the front grease cap.

Subject:    speedometer no move

Good morning fellow VW repair people.  I've gotten pretty good at
estimating the speed of the blue 84 by
the sound and the other traffic.  I am on a mission to fix everything
on at least one of my buses.
So I have the speedometer out.  I used a drill to spin it and the
needle moves fine.
Therefore my problem must be one of the cables, or the little gear box
under the bus?
Unless I hear some advice from you all, I think I'll jack up the front
drivers side whell and spin it
as I inspect the cables underneath.  Is this the next step?
Thanks.
