Does anyone know the the main shaft speed sensor???

This what the code came when i hooked up my little diagnosic compter to my 97' acura cl 3.0.

what my car doin it would run from first to second gear and then slip into neutrual no trying to get in third or forth gear.

i asked some of the advisor guys from acura and they sed that i would have to replace the speed sensor and get a new transmission, but really do i have to get a new transmission. i may have put alot of miles (154,000m) into my car but i dont abuse it.

so my question is it the speed sensor or a tranny or both???
please help!!!

change the speed sensor first.... its only 100$ if it doesent fix it. then u have to worry.. did this happen all of a sudden? how long have you been driving like this?

 

good luck... if anyone knows, its wilp (house acura specialist). Hopefully its that speed sensor...

based on what I've read about the 3.0 tranny though, i think its and time for another

 

theres been people on here who just changed the sensor and were fine... so hopefully itll be that simple..

 

well it started last week but the day it started to slip was the last day i drove it and its been sittin my garage ever since...

 

where could be the best place i could buy a speed sensor at???

hey thanks for everything.... has anyone ever installed one by themselfs???
its on the right side of your motor and its right on the transmission. its in a really tight spot to get a mini wrech in there and how does the pin work?
its it suppose to go in a certain way???

 

I hoping its my speed shaft sensor to. My mechanic really stressed me out today, I had timing belt and warter pump replaced with oxygen sensor easy fix for a mechanic come to find out my car wont even drive out of the driving lot it slips gears or wont shift something and it wasnt doing that prior to the other repairs...

 

I had the same code/problem on my 97 cl 3.0. Replaced the sensors
Didnt fix the problem, ended up getting a full rebuild from Aplus transmission
for 2,700. Drives like a champ again
