The speedo jumped around for a block or two and then total quick working. I checked the connections, reverse drive gear (for the smiths guage) and everything seems to be functioning ok?

Do I need to check it on the transmission end?
Have you checked to see whether the cable is turning at the speedo head? If it isn't turning, you'll have to work your way back to the transmission gear: Remove the cable from the trans and check the condition of the gear. It's possible that you got a gear that's the wrong spiral to match the transmission drive gear. That will show up plainly in some ugly wear on the driven gear.
