Is this some rare 5 spd auto, or a get-rag 360 5 spd, or an A518 4 spd auto.

if it's an A518 which i believe it is it's the VSS.

There is not much to the VSS. IT is on the rear of the trans where a speedo cable would go. Check for a bad connection or wire.

yeah its your overdrive, and its 4th gear actually.
its your tps. Its located on your fuel pump that black thing.
Just wiggle it around it might cause it to work better. It did mine.
And if that doesnt work, you can replace your tps for a few hundo, or get or make a tps delete kit, dnr makes one. And really simple to install.

Ok speedo is working but 5 miles off, I didnt do anything just started working
Odom Is not working trip either, When trans switchs gears feels like its defueling, RPM goes down then it switchs and everything normal. It takes like 2 seconds but i can feel it
