Jeep Repair: speed sensor control, output speed, speed sensor


Question
Hello Kevin,
Thanks for taking this question.  I have a 1999 JGC with the service code P 0720 which I looked up to be a malfunction with the Speed Sensor Control.  My question is, how easy is this for the non-mechanic to repair himself?  I've done most engine work myself growing up but have not tackled any transmission work.  Thank you for your assistance and help.
