Changing the trans won't affect the speedo unless the new trans had the wrong speedometer gear in the tail housing.

Yup..have you done a swap recently? If so, then the speedo gears are not correct. 
NOW I remember!!! You just went thru a bunch-o-crap with your trans, as I recall. It was a 700 swap. 
Anyway, yeah, they have the wrong speedo gears in the trans. You'll need to have the gears changed in order for the speedo to be correct....
