Neon's have a bundle of wires located along the front frame structure. they are notorious for scraping the road as the front of these cars are so low to the ground. These wires, if exposed can short out causing a fuse to blow. If a fuse or wire is damages you will see the same results as a faulty speedometer sensor would show. Do not start replacing parts because someone told you to, it's expensive. If wires are exposed disconnect the battery, either battery terminal will do. Jack the car up to gain access to the wiring harness running just behind the front bumper. If wires are exposed (cooper showing) they need repaired, preferably with a soldering iron. Be sure to connect the same color wires together. Once completed wrap the wires with electrical tape, individually and together using wire tires to secure the wires up as high as possible. Once completed raise the hood and check the fuse box to see it you have a blown fuse. replace the blown fuse (probably a 20 amp). the car should now run fine.
I had a similar issue with my 99. Wouldn't shift out of first, speedometer wouldn't work, etc. Turned out to be the interface module between the engine and ******.
We have had this happen to two Stratuses. In both cases, it turned out to the output sensor on the transmission. The first time it cost me $125 to find that out and have it changed at Kennedy Transmission. The second time, I did it myself. The part costs $18 at NAPA and it is super easy to access and change. Just jack up the driver's side and look up at the ******. The sensor is straight up on the side.
