Does your cruise control work? If so, the pulse is good. If I remember correctly, the speedo and cruise control use the same pulse signal for reference.

Cory: 1) you have given no information regarding your car: model? year? engine? (think of the old computer adage: "garbage in, garbage out"). An informed answer requires a full description of the problem.
2) I will just guess that it is perhaps a post '82 Series III xj6. If so, the problem is that you have a faulty transducer at the transmission. The unit is easily replaceable with the car on a hoist; it is available from all the reliable suppliers such as Coventry West, XKs Unlimited, Welsh Jaguar...to name only a few. The connector is hidden in the foam silencing pad above the transmission; the transducer is on the right hand side of the transmission.
