Yep, I have seen the VSS sensor cause this problem here is the location of the sensor so you can swap it out, if that does not work you will need to remove the cluster and get stepper motor kit from ebay to help if it which I have included instructions for. Also this video will show you how to remove the cluster for repair or rebuild.
