Vss on a 5 speed

If you disconnect the vss on a manual will the speedo work?

Yes, but the ECM won't like it when all other sensors are telling it that the car is moving but the VSS is telling it 0 MPH, guess what the ECM programming will do under those conditions?

To clarify, the speedometer still works if you disconnect the VSS.
