First check the VSS connector and wires before replacing the VSS itself. There are many threads on this forum where replacement of the VSS was done needlessly.

check the sensor first. this happened to me. it had gotten wet. i dried it off, cleaned it up a bit with carb cleaner and it worked fine afterwards.
