The speedometer works one day then not the next? I followed cable to trans no visible damage, wondering if it is the sensor located on side of transmition?

Have you had a check engine light? If so please respond the any codes that have been recorded.
If you don't have a scanner, go to your local AP store and get a free scan. Like the other stated most likely a speed senor.
