On a 98 the cause can either be the sensor on the tail shaft of tranny or the sensor on top of the rear end housing. Do you have the ABS and Brake light on too?

It's most likely the sensor on top of the rear end. Around $50.

Yep. That should fix the lights and the speedo. Some places have them for around $30 and other places are a bit more. Easy to install and should fix it
