Did you try to reset it while you were moving/driving? If it has the old manual odometer in it then you probably broke a couple teeth or you caught it between to teeth. Try resetting it again.

If its got those plastic gears/teeth and you stripped it then you will have to buy a new speedo head. The problem is that its plastic so it may be broken internally or the reset buttom could be snapped off.
