Possibly depending on the car and trans type, vehicle speed can be a major component in shifting strategy.
That is True.. A faulty speed sensor will cause no shift or late shift..
yes it can but also check the speed sensor if your vehicle is equiped with one.
Yes, it could.
faulty speed sensor in the transmission
A bad transmission speed sensor will result in the transmission not shifting at the proper times. The defective transmission speed sensor may also cause the vehicle not to idle properly.
The trans is electronically shifted so the sensor being bad is a likely cause.
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.
Yes it sure can.
The speed sensor can impact a number of things since it is linked to the transmission. If your vehicle has Anti-lock brakes the speed sensor is also linked to this. Relative to the transmission the speed sensor is used to control the shift points of the transmission and if the car does not shift properly it can affect the overall performance of the car as well as the longevity of your transmission and all of its parts. This is not something I would recommend left unattended. You should definitely have this looked at.
yes
the speed sensor senses the speed and tells your transmission when to shift , it also controls your speedometer.
speed sensor on top of transmission,if the speed sensor does not work then the shift inside the trans is broken and trans will need to be rebuilt
