Default 2000 Civic Speedo Jumping Randomly While Moving???

Well My civic was in a front end accident and now it is repaired the cars speedo jumps like crazy doesnt tell accurate speed at all. It stops when the car isnt moving, but after a while of driving the speedo goes back to normal and works fine?

It acts like a tach with someone reving it.

Post any ideas for me to look for while trying to troubleshoot this.

UPDATE: Now it does it sitting still too. and my milage goes up while it is bouncing.

It's actually on the top, and there is 2 10mm bolts holding it in. Pm me if your looking for someone to replace it.

The speed sensor, can that get fucked up in a collison?

I might need someone who has one to install it, The engine that is in the hatch is a d16y8 in it.
