Answer
Can't repair them Ricardo, they must be replaced. Located on the transmission. The one you need is the "vehicle speed sensor". This is the one that tells the computer how fast your going so it will know when to shift. When it is not working, which is extremely common, the check engine light will come on and your transmission will go into fail safe, which is second and reverse only on most cars.
