    Sounds like a mechanical speedometer "cable" symptom (on "old school" cars), and that the speedometer cable needs replacement. I'm not totally exactly sure what type of speedometer input (electrical or cable) our VX's have. Perhaps someone more familiar than me will chime in with a better prognosis. Does your VX have a lot of miles on it??? Typically, only high mileage vehicles will develop this symptom over time/miles. Let us know what you eventually find out.

    Our speedo is all electrical and it gets the signal from the Vehicle Speed Sensor.

    Our speedo input is provided by a solid-state "Vehicle Speed Sensor" located on the rear of the transfer case (passenger side, lower electrical plug near the drive shaft).

    You might try just unplugging it's connector from the transfer case, cleaning all the contacts, applying some dielectric grease, then plugging it back in. Maybe it just got wet or a little rusty and you're experiencing signal loss.
