Yes it will, Engine performance has alot to do with the transmission on todays automobiles. Alot of so called transmission problems are not the transmission at all. Most of the time it is the engine causing the trans. to act up.

Where is shift sensor on a 2003 Chrysler new yorker?

The transmission computer uses sensors located on both the engine and transmission for shift timing.


Does the TPS control transmission shifting?

On a computer controlled transmission, the throttle position sensor is one input used for shift timing.


What does the output speed sensor do?

It reads the speed of the output shaft. On a transmission it is used for shift timing.


What does a input turbine sensor do on a 1996 Plymouth Voyager?

It measures the speed of the transmission input shaft. The transmission computer uses this info for shift timing.


Can the ignition switch in a 1990 Chevy pick up cause the transmission to not shift?

NO, there is no coalition between the ignition switch and the transmission. The ignition switch does 2 things. Turns on power to the electrical system for the engine and supplies power to the starter during start-up.


What is the effect if capacitance in transmission line is high?

higher phase shift lower impedance


Does the crankshaft sensor do both jobs of the timing and injection on a 1997 Saturn SC2?

The onboard computer senses the position of the crankshaft by monitoring the output from the crankshaft position sensor. With that information, and the input from other sensors, the computer can determine appropriate injector duration, ignition timing, EGR valve operation and transmission shift points.


What does an output speed sensor do on a 1996 Plymouth Voyager?

It measures the speed of the output gear of the transmission. It is used for shift timing.


Why would a knock sensor cause a rough transmission shift?

It retards / slows the timing up and makes the transmission shift hard. The engine has to be running right for the transmission to work right. It would really help to know the year. There could be other problems depending on the year.


Why would the automatic transmission not shift out of 1st and the speedometer stop working on a 1992 Toyota 6-Cyl 4Runner when the ignition timing is retarded?

Try replacing the vehicle speed sensor (VSS). It's held in place on the side of the transmission by a single bolt and it has a single electrical connection. I had the same problem, and this cleared it up instantly!


Why does my 1995 Nissan Altima automatic transmission not shift when ignition switch is on but transmission will shift when switch is off?

Check the fuses and/or brake light switch.


Does changing the tire height affect anything?

It will effect the accuracy of the speedometer and odometer, effect the transmission shift points, effect the fuel mileage, effect the brake horse power,
