I tend to agree since I found excess movement in the final drive axles coming out of the transaxle. I can get that fixed since I'm pretty sure the VSS is picking up a bad signal as the shaft wobbles at high speed since the magnetic signal comes from the CV bolt heads.

Just like the ignition switch has been turned off. I have found that if I instantly take my foot off the gas pedal and immediately apply pressure again it runs just like nothing happened =- until 15 miles up the road it happens again.
