Remove the round white nylon drive from the gearbox sprocket nut and check that the slot for the cable drive is not rounded.
If so, replace but then check speedo gearbox is not stiff, oil if it is. Lever the dust seal over to allow oil in to the gear.

Failing that, look at the speedo inner cable for a break, the broken ends may grip for a while.
