yes
It tell's it when to shift ....depending on throttle position
The output speed sensor tell the computer what speed the trans output is turning to know when to shift.
sorry i entered an answer for a different question
It's a sensor/switch on the transmission that sends signals to the ecu( the car'a computer) to tell it what speed the car is going, and what rpm it's at, so it knows when to shift.
Speed sensor and shift cable. Unlike the other comment on the speed sensor I say change the speed sensor yourself. It's located on the transmission below the thermostat housing with three phillups (star) screws holding it in (aluminum screws be very careful removing them, they break easily) if you can tell the difference between the engine and transmission you can change this.
There are two speed sensors for this car. One is located in the transmission an the transmission needs removed to replace it. An the other sensor is located right above the passenger side trans axle "CV Shaft". This one tells the car when to shift an also tell the car's speedometer what to read. if this one is bad it will cause the car to shift hard an sometimes not at all. it will act like its stuck in first gear an not want to shift into second or over drive.
AnswerThere are two sensors on this transmission. One is the speed sensor. The other is used by the computer to tell what gear it is in and if the transmission is slipping. I hope this helps you.See "Related Questions" below for more
my trans shifts late it dosent slipp shifts hard to get into 1st and 2nd after that she goes right into 3rd then 4th normally i was wondering if there is a shift sensor to tell the trans when to shift
sends an electrical signal to the transmission to tell it to shift gears. It also sends that info to the cars computer.
The transmission speed sensors tell the trans computer how fast the inside parts of the trans are turning. The wheel speed sensors tell the ABS computer how fast the wheels are turning.
I think you are referring to a shift solenoid on a car. If so, this sends signals to the transmission computer to tell it when to shift gears either higher or lower depending on demand such as going uphill, passing or reaching cruise speed.
