The factory wiring diagrams for my 97 shows a VSS on the pumpkin & another VSS on the drivers side of the trans.

Maybe yours is the same.

Check sensor teeth on sensor ring behind ring gear.Remove sensor and rotate diff. to check for broken ,damaged or missing teeth often caused by diff. parts failure ,trac lock clutches and etc.
