Changed the speed sensor located on the transmission, still have the problem. Speedo is pointed almost straight down not at zero. Anymore suggestions?

It is the Stepper Motor. Your best bet is to send it out for repair. someone like this http://drspeedometer.com or this http://www.speedometerrepairguy.com/pricing.htm or many others that you can find on the internet.

Maybe you have accidentally pushed the button changing MP/H to KM/H? Check this first before messing with sensors and looking for other problems. Good Luck
