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?
