Speed sensor

So I'm getting code p0500 the question I have is will the speed sensor on the tail on my transmission cause this code on my 99 f150 4x4 . the reason I ask is because this sensor has been broken off . I'm hopeful it only control's my speedometer and is not related to the code . I've tried to remove what is left however in fear if I get it loose it may fall into the transmission. I will be replacing the speed sensor on the pumpkin this weekend . but sure would like any suggestions on the one on the transmission it's the upper one and is broke off below the surface of the transmission this is a manual transmission .thank you for any help that might be given

The sensor on the pumpkin is for ABS.

If the missing sensor has an electrical plug it's signal does a number of functions besides the speedo.
If you have up and down shifting issues, that could be one reason.
Good luck.
