Default Speedometer not correct, months after being correct

So at start of summer I put 3:73 gears into my wife's car and changed the tune to 3:73 gears. It worked perfectly for months. Recently had her tell me speedometer is off and car is shifting weird. I just pulled the tune in the car and nothing has changed??? Basically if your doing 65 mph speedo says 75ish. Should I try just reloading tune?

Probably a "bad" ish speed sensor. That would be my 1st guess. Basing that on the weird shifting and the speedo also being off. I guess blowing the tune in is easier, but if nothing else has changed, something must be causing it.

Good thought on speed sensor. Later this week I'll reload the tune. If it doesn't fix it I'll grab a VSS and hopefully it fixes it.
