Answer
Shahid,
  I'm sorry to take so long to respond but I fell and really messed up my shoulder. It is very difficult to raise my arm to type.
  Second thing, I'm a Parts Professional, NOT a Technician. I will offer some thoughts to you but I would suggest you find a real Technician to help you.
  The speedometer in your car is driven by a Vehicle Speed Sensor that bolts into the transmission. The speedometer cable OR electric wiring goes from that to your speedometer. I would guess the Vehicle Speed Sensor may be going bad. I'm not sure how to test it. I do know, as a Parts Professional, ANY part numbers off the old part would help greatly. Also the Vehicle Identification Number from the car would be a MUST to have.
  This is all I can think of. As I said, I think you should contact a Technician.
  I hope this finds you and your family well and happy. I Pray for peace in your part of the World and all over the world. Please be safe and good luck.

Heretofore, I will NOT answer any mechanical question. I am not qualified and can only offer speculations. You are better served by others that are true Techs. With that being said, please only ask about parts and locating obsolete Auto Parts. Thank you. I have the ability to locate quite a few mechanical parts for American made vehicles fron the 1900`s to present. Some are OEM and some are aftermarket. This would include engine, brake and chassis parts. Body parts and trim are VERY difficult to find but you may inquire. If you need assistance in repair, I have illustrated books for major American manufacturers that show some illustrations BEFORE 1974. If needed, I can supply repair manuals for your specific vehicle. PLEASE REMEBER I'M A PARTS SPECIALIST, NOT A TECH!! Thank you.. Skip
