Hi 5hlw,

Erratic shifting would occur if the speedometer is not working.

The speedometer not working should be due to a faulty Vehicle Speed Sensor located on top of the differential axle.

If the problem did not occur before the VSS failed, then replacing the VSS shoudl solve the problem.

However since you have a fault, it should be rectified first before we can confirm if that is the only cause.

Does the Check Engine Lamp indicate while driving? If yes you need to retrieve the troubble code to see if there are any other faults.

Poor take off can be due to the spark plugs, ignition coils, fuel pressure or other mechanical faults.

Get them checked.
