Default speedo broke? help plz

I was drivin the other day and my speedometer just dropped from 60-0 and stopped working out of no where. Then I through a Check Engine light that was P 0500 - Vehicle speed sense malfunction. I thought I just broke a speedo gear or the cable but then a through that code. Since my car is a 96 I have the manual odometer adn speedo so I didn't think it was a conputer problem. Idk if i'm throwing that code just bec my car sees that my speedo ain't working or if I did have a sense fail. What do i need to fix??[/align]Thanks[/align][/align]

Do your cars have speedo cables? Might have broken it and the computer might have saw that it was going faster than 0 when you were moving and thrown the code... just my uneducated guess, haha.
