If all those guages stopped when you did the transmission, check the guage fuse, and check to make sure you did not pinch any wires between the block and transmission bell housing.

Depends on the year of your blazer, look under the floor pan near the rear of the transmission tail shaft. You should see either a cable or wires leading to a connector. Check to make sure that everthing is ok here. Might need a DVM if there are wires...

Should be electric VSS located int eh tailshaft or t-case (if you have 4x4). Make sure the connector is connected.

What year is your truck? Never mind. It was part of your subject.

Lets solve one problem at a time.
Since the speedo is most important, lets start there.
I gather it worked before the clutch install? Correct?
Then it was something you did. Since you have a 4x4 the speedo sensor is in the t-case. GM uses a reluctor ring and sensor. The sensor counts the number of revolutions of the reluctor gear. Then sends a signal to the puter/or back of the speedometer. Later years it went to the puter. You had to disconnect the wiring to the t-case to drop the t-case. Was it a sensor or wiring harness? If it was a sensor, is the face of it clean, is it installed al the way? And your positive you didn't pinch any wires in the process?
