i would check the vss (vehicle speed sensor i think) wiring at the transmission end as a start point. I think on that car the signal wire comes from the trans, then T's one feed to the clocks and one for the ecu.
I believe there are 2 types of sensor, 2 wire & 3 wire, I dont know if this is the cause but If you have had a gearbox swap then it could be. sensor/clocks mismatch.
