Is there a shift sensor on a 1989 Honda Prelude automatic to control when it shifts?

Sort of - depending on model .What motivated you to ask the question ? are you having delayed up-shift points in relation to speed ? or no kickdown from Top Gear ? etc .Does your trans(looking to rear) front center lower on bellhousing, just inside engine bay behind radiator , have a series of 4 solenoids stacked vertically ? (don't worry) this just helps identify the trans during a year model trans type cross-over ,depending on which market.Main influence is a correctly adjusted throttle to trans cable (for example on earlier series 2 prelude/accords '84- mid '87 cable adjusted one way will give "short-shifts" at lower revs up into the next gear,into top(4th) aiding economy, adjusted another way will delay part throttle upshifts at any given rev point in relation to road speed - giving a more sporty 'hold onto a lower gear' shift pattern,at full throttle from standing start.
Maladjusted can cause problems , is fixable,but, model depending , may not be only cause of 'non-standard' shifting (slipping/soft "flaring" shifts/worn trans aside) hope this helps.Don't fiddle with anything you don't understand your fiddling with.
There again,much to trans shop/dealer chargrin,don't accept a "full trans rebuild" when adjustment,broken vacuum hose etc or honest shop/learned mechanic ('ask Smokey') check would fix.Goodluck(if this was a genuine question) - that will be $200 inspection fee please :-P

Does the speed sensor control shifts in an automatic transmission?
to my knowledge the speed sensor is just for reading the speed of the vehicle alone...bands and fluid are primary reasons for a transmission to not shift properly. if the fluid is old and worn down or there is not enough fluid in the transmission it will not shift properly and if the bands are worn from high mileage or any other reason it could mean needing a rebuild to replace them.
