Yes this sounds very much like the speed sensor.
I found an ideal way to check the VSS is to turn the AVC (Automatic Volume Control) on the radio to MAX (assuming you have a Ford stereo). The volume of the radio should increase steadily as you increase MPH. If it remains low or the volume gets very erratic, this is normally a good indication the speed sensor is on its way out.
