check the cable first! alot of times they back out of the speed pick up in the tranny. if your sure it's in all of the way, then take it out and spin it with your fingers. the speedo should jump if it's working. (i put a makita cordless drill on the cable and it makes the speedo read about 30mph, but drill has to be in reverse though!) if the speedo doesnt work, then it's either a bad cable or a bad speedo. if it does work, then your pick up on the tranny is prob. bad.

Definately the vss, common problem. Signs are no vtec, revs, but no speed.

prob vss or bad connection, but if that's the case, you'll have a check engine light, and poss. drivability problems. on electronic ones, i usually take another vss and plug it in and spin it to see if the speedo works.
