There are couple of things I can think of:

=20

1.      The bearing inside of the speedometer cable is frozen. I believe you =
can test that by removing the cable at the angle drive connection and =
turn it to check if it will turn freely while connected to the =
speedometer. Note that the tip of the speedometer cable that goes into =
the speedometer cannot be longer than 3/8=E2=80=9D. If it is it will =
cause the speedometer bearing to freeze.
2.      If you have the angle drive, there is a short piece of speedometer =
cable inside of it that makes the 90-degree bend. It can break either =
through wear or if the bearing inside of the speedometer freezes. To =
check the angle drive, you need to remove it and turn it with the =
speedometer cable to see if it turns the cable where it attaches to the =
transmission tail-piece.

The angle drive can easily be disassembled to replace the short cable =
inside of it. Just use an old piece of speedometer cable to replace it. =
You will need to square off the ends with a grinder.

=20

Also, according to Norman Kock, there must be a washer at the angle =
drive connection to the transmission tail-piece.

There is an angle drive available for the Toyota 5 speed. The question =
is:  do you have one connected?
