Vehicle speed sensor (VSS) is usually located on the transmission .. there is sesnors on the wheels (wheel speed sensors) used for the ABS ?

The car may cut out because the speedo is not working, but it is not common ? the VSS tells the ECU/PCM when to shift gear and apply torque converter clutch, if the ECU/PCM is not getting correct signal you will also get harsh/late gear shift's .. did you have the vehicle plugged into a diagnostic scanner/computer to retrieve any fault codes stored ? when it cuts out, does it start again straight away ? Let me know
