Transmission problem
1999 BMW 528 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic 115K miles

I'm having isssues with my transmission, when the car is cold the speedometer works for about 5-10 minutes. then it goes to zero, the transmission starts shifting erratic, i can clear the codes, and first to come back on is the p0500 vehicle speed sensor code, then after i start driving for awhile i get another tranmission malfunction code. p174x something but i believe that's only because of the first code, my question is where is the vehicle speed sensor located on this car, or what sensor sends the signal to the speedo??

The road speed signal is generated from the DSC/ASC module. It is taken from the wheel sensors.
