Hi
had my trans rebuilt about 11 months ago 7000 miles of use. now its slipping and shifting real hard when it does plus speedo stopped working has all gears but drive being the worst reverse fine.This all happened at once wondering if it could be a sensor or if the trans needs to be pulled again

Hi there,

the speedo may be a speed sensor failed, but the slippage is more of a concern, i would be getting the transmission serviced & inspected by a trans specialist first, start here.
