Sounds like a stripped gear in the cluster. Did you roll back your odo? lol

I would assume you didn't connect a harness back together tight enough, or something simple.

i don't remember on my '98 but isn't there an actual cable for the speedometer or is it all electronic? i just remember on my '85 celicas that it was an actual cable or maybe that was for the odometer, sorry i'm not help. all i can say is take it back apart and see if something is loose or not connected and plug it in and try before putting it all back together again. what year and vehicle do you have?
