What error codes do you have that say there is a sensor problem? Those rarely fail without setting codes.

That’s not what I asked, I asked how many sensors are on the transmission and what are they for because I see 4 of them.

There are 2 sensors, input and output speeds, the other connections are to the solenoid pack and the shift range switch. I have read your other posts as well. Without a scan tool to look at the data you could replace the entire transaxle and still have the same issue.

I will take pic of the sensors, and you can tell me what they are, but I see 4 connectors and then the solenoid pack.

There are 2 sensors that can be accessed on the outside of the transmission. Those are the input and output sensors. The others are harness extensions for internal parts like the range switch, solenoid pack and temperature sensor.
