Speedometer/tachometer gauge problem and possible transmission problem
What is your question?
I have a 1996 Chev. 1500 with a 5.7 liter engine with 162,000 miles. The speedometer and tachometer having been working erratically. It starts working good and then after a few minutes the needles start jumping aroung and the quit working. The speedometer and tripometer will quit working. Then the vehicle will start off in second instead of first. The other gauges continue to work. I brought it to a mechanic and he had the instrument control panel taken out and sent off for diagnosis. The reply was that there no problem with the panel. The mechanic then said it was most likely an internal transmission problem. Any ideas and on probable cause(s) and solution(s)?

Thank you very much. I had a similar reply from another mechanic yesterday stating that it is most likely an electrical probem.
What did you end up replacing and how much did you pay?
