Sounds like your vehicle speed sensor is bad. The VSS gives your electronic engine control information necessary to control your transmission and ABS for the rear brakes as well as your speedometer. You should have a fault code but I would try that if I was you. Just my 2 cents worth. Hope that helps

2002 Chevy silverado, at speeds of 60+ mph, it feels like the transmission slips or it sputters(hesitates), but only at high speeds
Are you certain that it is the transmission and not the engine misfiring? I would recommend scanning your onboard computer network to BEGIN proper diagnosis.

I have a 1996 Plym. Grand Voyager, hesitation & stalling.
If it works well at speed and acts up when slowing or stopped it doesn't sound like fuel filter or pump. You can try running injector cleaner through the engine to clean the carborator injectors or fuel injectors if you have those. Look at replacing the plugs and wires on the motor.
