Message I've searched and can't figure out if the speedometer or not.

The problem is, one day my speedometer stopped working. It went to 0 MPH. After shutting it off, it worked for a little bit, but started climbing slowly to 120MPH (while I'm doing about 60MPH). The longer I drive, the more it climbs. Now it is pegged at the maximum.

If I'm on the gas hard, the speedometer swings back towards 120MPH. If I'm off the gas, it slowly climbs back towards pegged at maximum and eventually gets there.

I have the speedometer out right now and can't see any physical damage in the components. Is it the speedometer? If so, are there known components that go bad? My power steering works and every other gauge works in the cluster.

TIA
