That's what I am leaning towards. I tried stopping at Lucas Chevrolet on Rt 38. (near where I work) and the guy at the parts counter look at me like I was crazy, he said "I'm not showing any kind of speed sensor"??? So I have to try another dealer. I got under the car today and checked for loose/broken/frayed wires and everything looks intact. Truthfully I'm not even sure with of the three connections is for the speedo. One is for the cags?, one for the reverse lights?, one the speedo sensor?

Anyway I put the car up on jack stands and ran the car throught the gears and almost instantly the problems appeared and they seem to be getting worse and finally tripped the ABS INOP light, but no SES light....

I am really thinking the speed sensor took a ****, but we'll see. If its cheap that's my next move.
