Too many things to mention.

Time to watch scan data.

The scanner gives you a code....it gives you a path of diagnostics to take. It never tells you what the problem actually is.

Yes, the vehicle speed sensor can wreak all sorts of havoc with the shift points. Think about it....how does the transmission know when to shift if it doesn't know how fast the truck is moving?

If you want to buy a VSS, they're cheap and easy to replace.
