I'd suggest replacing your speed sensor located on the right side of the front differential. I just had one go bad on my Claret not long ago.

Re: Any Idea's
I don't have any idea's but I have a few ideas...

Take the speed sensor out, plug the connector back in, turn the car on and spin the sensor with a drill while observing the speedometer. If it works, then it's probably the drive gear in the transmission. They don't fail all that often, but I've seen it happen, and they are not fun to replace.

Re: Any Idea's
Yes, you were correct, I just order a Vehicle Speed Sensor, (13,100¥)or $144.10 USD. The yen rate is 90 to a dollar, not so good!
Thanks again for all your help!
Sincerely,
Tomodachi
