QUESTION: no i havent replaced anything but the speed senser in the trans but when it didnt fix the prob i unpluged it and there was no diffence hooked up or not is that normal and will the senor in the speedo make the car react like i discribed thaks pat

Answer
The speed sensor in the transmission send information to the #2 speed sensor in the speedometer and then it goes to the computer, it's possible that the speedometer still works but the signal out to the computer is missing. If the speedometer works then the speed sensor in the transmission is not the problem
