A malfunctioning or dead speed sensor can cause a massive array of problems that are not necessarily inclusive or exclusive to themselves or a malfunctioning speed sensor/VSS respectively. The best way to tell if your speed sensor is malfunctioning is to see if any of the following problems started to occur simultaneously (btw, these are all for an automatic transmission):
Transmission is revving higher before it changes gears (most common symptom)
Transmission engages overdrive late, or in Top Gear, never (also very common)
Brakes depressing erratically or harder than normal when coasting (somewhat common)
Speedometer is behaving erratically or does not move (more common in later cars)
Check Engine Light is apparently, but sporadically (common in older cars)
O/D Off light is blinking, either at higher speeds or constantly (more common in Japanese cars)
Anyway, I suggest taking your car to a mechanic to have them run a computer diagnostics test on it. I do NOT suggest taking the car to a Transmission Service Site, such as AAMCO or Mr. Transmission. The best place you could take it would be the dealer, really.
