    (2008 LS4 GXP) So i'm in drive at a stop light, brake on and my speedometer jumps up to 35 then to 50 then down to 12 and so on. If I put it in park, it quits. But ill be sittin there and it jumps around then, when i go to drive while the speedometer is jumping around it almost feels like the tranny is slipping. I told dealership about it, I still have warrenty, and they said it didnt throw any codes so they have no idea. does anyone have any clue whats up with my car?

    I can't say for sure, but to me it kind of sounds like a speed sensor going bad.

    The speed sensor is on the trans. I had my settings wrong for my speed sensor in my tune and my tranny felt horrible. It would get ready to shift, then lag for a couple seconds then slam into gear.
