Transmission is slipping.

Hello guys I'm new on the forum. I was wondering if anyone knows what the problem could be with my transmission slipping? I have a 1995 f150 xlt with a 5.8l efi. I have done many repairs on it but it hasn't solved the problem. Repairs include, rebuilt transmission, a rebuilt EEC, and a new TPS. I've scanned the truck for codes and got a 452 as a continuous code and I think it's something about the vehicle speed sensor but I'm not sure if that would help. Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks

The transmission shifts based on input the computer receives from the vehicle speed sensor.

Found this thread on another forum:
Code 452 and Tranny issues linked. (along with a small valve issue) - Ford Bronco Forum

A quote from the thread with what may be relevant info:

btw, Ford often refers to VSS AND as the RABS SENSOR

DS1 DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCS) 29 AND 452: CHECK PSOM RESISTANCE

Continuous Memory DTC 29 indicates that during the last 80 warm-up cycles, the PCM detected an error in the PSOM output signal. DTC 452 indicates the PCM detected an error in the PSOM output signal during the last 40 warm-up cycles.

Possible Causes:
Damaged Rear Anti-Lock Brake System (RABS).
Damaged PSOM.
Damaged harness circuits.
Damaged PCM.
Key off.
Disconnect Powertrain Control Module (PCM). Inspect for damaged or pushed out pins, corrosion, loose wires, etc. Service as necessary.
Install breakout box, leave PCM disconnected.
Measure resistance between Test Pin 3 and Test Pin 6 at the breakout box.

instead of breakout box, go to the EEC CONNECTOR pin or other instead; for instance - Measure resistance between Test Pin 3 and Test Pin 6; EEC Connector Pin 3 is VSS +
in 6 is VSS -

So does that mean that I should give the vehicle sopes sensor I try? Also what is the PSOM and what is its purpose?
