Assuming you will have a similar arrangement to on my car.....
Check the wiring & the connector near to where they go into the rear of the gearbox. That was where the problem was with mine. I couldn’t get the connector apart so cut it out & rejoined the two wires using spade connectors. Speedo is once again working reliably - even agrees with the gps!
Prior to fixing it the speedo sometimes worked ok, sometimes not at all & sometimes the needle bounced around erratically on the dial.

Do you mean the trip & odo stopped counting or that they don’t even illuminate? If you still see the numbers, but they just don’t increase as you drive, that is what happened on mine whilst the speedo wasn’t working due to the poor wire connection at the rear of the gearbox. If the numbers don’t illuminate at all then you I’d suspect you have an electrical issue behind the dash.

Far better scenario than having to dismantle the dash & play with circuit boards I’d reckon. Either wiring or the drive. I'd guess that were it a worn drive gear you would almost certainly have seen some inaccurate or intermittent speedo activity before it stopped working altogether. I’m not sure what the drive itself looks like, but it’s not one which turns a speedo cable, just generates a variable electrical signal via two thin wires. Good luck, & be prepared to wait rather than buggering up that wrist again!
