Speedom went haywire this morning!

Maintenance/Repairs

This morning whilst driving my 1992 Ford Taurus to work, I heard a sudden whirring noise and my speedometer needle jumped all the way to the maximum regardless of my actual speed and continued to make an unpleasant whirring noise as if the needle were trying to go higher if it could. The only time it stopped and went back down is if I had come almost to a complete halt. Luckily my commute is rather short, but I think if I had had far to go eventually something would pop and the speedometer will be no more. Any thoughts? What kind of $$$ damage might I be looking at? Thanks in advance…
