Default Nissan Terrano 2 1999 2.7 auto td, revving issue

Hi everyone newbie here, need some help please! I just bought my first Nissan Terrano 2 1999 2.7td Automatic two days ago. I have noticed or I am maybe wrong and clueless as its my first automatic. However, when driving on the motorway yesterday the revs are at 4000rpm at 60mph and not changing gears it seems. Additionally, the speedo stick is not matching speed it gets stuck and twitches after 40 mins of driving. This was not happening during test drive around town. It has 125k miles when odometer displays correctly. Thanks

Aim to get stuck and be completely self sufficient in extraction, love getting muddy, 2ft deep is good but rare.

4,000 rpm at 60 mph sounds like its not changing into top gear. I would start by checking your speedo against a Satnav reading. Generally the Satnav will read a few mph less.

From my memory our old 2.7 Auto r3mR would read about about 2,700 in overdrive top at 70 mph.

First thing to check is that overdrive button on the right hand side of the shifter is pressed in.
There is a light on the dash that shows on and off.
My auto cruises at 60mph at around 2000 rpm in overdrive.
Jerky speedo and intermittent led display are down to dry solder joints in the instrument cluster.

Rick, if you look carefully at the speedo face you can see that the speedo needle balance weight is just binding on the face. I think this is due to the black face not being completely flat. The characteristics of "sticking" change with ambient temperature, presumably as the plastic shrinks/expands.
I think if the needle was pulled away from the face by about 0.5~1.0mm that would "fix" it.
