Brand new member and have enjoyed this site. Bought 1985 c4 and will
take possession in 5 days. VSS code 24 shows on start-up. No speedometer or counter. Car runs great with 27k miles. Have done my research on this site will more closely inspect when I get it home. The drive will be 70 miles at highway speed. I understand that this sensor supplies several components with information. Will other systems in the car be compromised on this trip? Drive it/fix it first/flatbed it? Thank you all.

An 85 doesn't need the signal from the vss to run properly. All the signal does is allow the speedometer to function. You may have a problem with the torque converter not locking up, but that won't hurt anything. The later year 4l60es required proper vss to shift correctly and for the engine to run correctly.
Thanks for your quick response. I appreciate your knowledge. This is my first Corvette and 60th birthday present to myself. Can't wait to drive it home.
