The speedo might cause some problems but it will still drive with no speedo.
Have you checked that it has the right amount of fluid in it!

Do you know what the fluid looks like when it's new! And what it smells like!
If you get a bottle of trans fluid and look at it and smell it you will find out.
Then have a look and a smell of the stuff in the car(wipe a bit off the dipstick). If it looks a bit brown, or cloudy/dirty, and/or smells sort of "burnt", then the clutches have probably burnt out.

That sounds bad.
Time to get it to a transmission specialist for a diagnosis and a quote.
They should be able to do both for nothing or a small fee.
