camry, speedometer dead, "O/D off", engine noise when turning

Mine is a 1987 camry 4 door sedan. Sometime the speedometer stop working (pointing to zero), then it may start working by itself. When the speedometer stop working, "O/D off" (meanes over drive is off) flashes on the small panel below the speedometer, though the over drive button is pushed into "on" posision and I can feel it's on when driving. What's the problem?

Another thing: When turning direction at low speed, the engine noise getting very loud. Is there anything wrong?

Thank you for your help.

It's probably electronic - fed by wires from the vehicle speed sensor on top of the transmission housing. Check the electrical connections there.
