Should not be too bad could just be a bad connection. On the dr side of the trans behind the pan there is a sensor there that is the VSS. unplug it get some electrical cleaner clean it all up and put on some dielectric grease and plug it back in.

The tps could make it drop out of od also but that would not affect the speedo.
