Is the speedo digital or an actual needle gauge? Did it just suddenly stop working?

Check the transmission end of the cable. The gears on the end could be messed up. Just trace the cable back to the tranny - usually near the back of the tranny on the side somewhere. If you disconnect this end, there should be a small set of gears in there. These sometimes strip or break, not letting the cable spin - - and no action at the gauge.

Let us know what you find.

it's a needle gauge. As far as i know, it just stopped working.

Thanks, i'll give it a look.

The 95 has an electronic sending unit for the speedo. They do that sometimes. You might need a new sending unit.

Hmm.
Does anyone know of an online manual for the 95 model PF?

Colt1957, go start your own thread. Don't post questions in other people's threads like that. It's rude.

Here's a link to the factory service manual for a 95.

Here's the supplemental 95 manual with revised wiring diagrams, etc.

Couldn't agree more - - it's just funny how that happens. Oh well, I guess we all have to learn.
