I think he is talking about the trip meter, not the speed needle.
I have the same problem, when I reset the trip meter. I just have to wiggle with it for it to work.
For the VSS to be the problem, the speedometer, odometer, and trip odometer would be inoperative. If only trip odometer is out, the fault is in the trip odometer movement.
