Unhappy 4R100 Transmission problems

I have a 2003 F250 with a 4R100 automatic trans. im having a few issues im ktrying to figureout. it jerks while the overdrive is engaged and I have to let off the gas if i want to drop out of it. My ABS light will come on and go off and when it does my speedometer will drop to zero then pick back up. every now and then the O/D light on my shifter will start blinking and the truck will stall if its at an idle. can anyone help i have a feeling these are all related but i cant place the problem. i also got a P0720 code when my check engine light came on.

I would check the output shaft speed sensor.

Loose connection, failed sensor, loose tone ring on the output shaft.

It's on the top of the transmission almost at the very back of the trans.

I installed the new sensor and the problem kept happening so i took it to the dealer and they ran diagnostics. it turned out to be a bad coil on #5. talk about workin in the wrong direction. now they tell me that my passenger side ball joints are bad so i think im gonna see how true that is. thnx for the help.
