Default Tachometer going CRAZY

Went out for a spirited drive tonight and at the top of second gear I started getting a really bad missing and surgung. I got out of the throttle and slowed down...when I went to get backup to speed, It kept surging and I noticed the tach jumping around like crazy!

Pulled codes, got code 41, 44, and72

code 41 is in there because of the ICM fiasco and I did't clear it
44 is the left O2 sensor is dead

but what is a code 72???

code 72 =gear select circuit fault
as for the tack, tach filter is failing,, these are non existant anymore, but if you like you can build one, or find a used one.

It could also just be a bad connection at the tach filter causing the intermittent issue.
