* Driving at 60kph in 5th gear the car seems to jump a little forward sometimes then want to pull back a little sometimes
That sounds like a different issue, the Speedo sensor problem has pretty well defined symptoms.

I'm no expert but when's the last time it had its plugs changed, and a good service? Check your battery terminals and clean and tight too. Start with the basics.

Also get it scanned for any possible error codes, in my experience it can save you a lot of time and money trying to troubleshoot by process of elimination.
