Probably the speed sensor on the transmission. It would cause both problems. You should also have a check engine light with a trouble code for the sensor.

SOURCE: I have a 1995 Chevy

check the wiring on top of the transmission. there is an electrical plug for the speed sensor, if it is loose, the veh will not shift correctly. get someone to remove it, reset the wires in the plug and clean the female end of the plug on the transmission. I have the same problem. It jumps from first to 3rd then back and forth then finally stays in 3rd. I pushed the wires in to set them in deeper on the plug and it seems to help.

I have a 2009 chevy aveo, all lights are working except the speedometer and gear shift

If your speedometer stopped working and stays at 0 MPH, you should have your car checked ASAP. The most common causes of a speedometer that stopped working include are a faulty speed sensor, a broken gear on the speedometer, damaged wiring, or a faulty engine control unit.

Problems with chevy tahoe

It is most likely the speed sensor on the transmission, and the other possibility is that the dash gauges have went bad, and needs to be rebuilt.

Speedometer is pegged out at 100 and won't work

Hi,
Likely one of your Speed Sensors (VSS) is bad. Sorry I don't know WHERE these are located, but get on some of the Chevy Truck forums for answers.

Check the opti harness, it may be corroded and needs cleaning or replacing. Here are two pages on the given code, perhaps you may find your answer inside.

1999 chevy tahoe check guages light

it sounds like the speed sensor is faulty,but you should have it checked in case it is an output or input sensor too.whats happening is, since the computer has no eyes it totaly depends on sensors to know what is happening,if it sees no speed it won't up shift the transmission because it thinks your sitting still.
