Default VSS sensor floating

the speedometer on my ITR keeps floating around on the freeway..if I'm going 70, the needle will sweep up to the 85mph mark and stay there for a few seconds, and if i release the gas, it'll slowly come back down. Anyone know what to do solve this problem? And how much would it cost?
