Speed sensor on top of transmission.

Pull it out and see if covered with metal filings.

If it is clean it and give a whirl but you will probably need a new one.

I had the same problem.. it was a broken wire. I checked the wires for grounds and rang them out with ohm meter. It broke right before it goes under the tank from the sensor side.
