Spedometer does not work

about 6 months ago, my tranny blew out. when i had it taken out, the harness for the speed sensor, more specifically the wires were ripped apart. when my new tranny was put in, the mechanic reconnected the wires with wire butts and ever since there, its worked perfectly.

3 weeks ago i had a new clutch put in and again, when the tranny was taken out, the wire job that the previous mechanic did was ripped appart. i ended up ordering a new speed sensor and harness. after everything was hooked up, the spedometer does not work. the fuse is fine, all the other guages work except for the spedometer. the guage cluster works fine, its sending and recieveing the proper signals.

basically what happened is that everything was working fine, then i got a new clutch put in and once everything was put back together, the spedo doesnt work...which to me and my mechanic makes no sense. what could be wrong?

The speedo works off the speed sensor. You either have a bad speed sensor or those wires are mess up again.
