Stuck in 2nd Gear?

INPUT and OUTPUT
Located on the Driver’s Side rear wheel area
The Input and Output sensor used to be manufactured in brass but later was manufactured in plastic.
Dealers say they have been replacing a number of them lately due to heat failure.
The plastic thermal characteristics are not as good as the brass ones were.
If your transmission goes into limp mode the engine light comes on but the speedometer still works – it’s a failure of the Input transmission sensor. (Part#04800878)
