This will result in the symptoms you are experiencing. The gears won't grind when you try to shift because the transmission's input shaft is not turning with the clutch pressure plate, disk and flywheel. So, you could be fooled into thinking all is o.k. inside the bellhousing. A blown clutch disk happened to me on a cross-country trip in 1974, catching me without a spare disk. It took two days in a Missouri small town to come up with a new one so that I could continue back to Arizona. Since that day, I always carry a spare disk under the seat.

If the speedometer is registering, then wouldn't the output shaft of the transmission be turning?
