ABS and brake lite on?

Could be the VSS isn't plugged in, or, if it was removed, it may not be indexed properly.

Maybe they forgot to reinstall the speedometer gear in the tranny. Ask the shop that rebuilt the tranny about it, if they're reputable they'll likely solve the issue at no cost to you.

Yep. Supposedly, the trans, and VSS are marked as to the number of teeth on the driven gear, if you know how many teeth it has, line up the marks, and lock it in place.
