My transmission is slipping and kicking out of gear when I am around $70 mph sometimes it will slip just starting off. If I stay constant it does ok but if I stay on it to long it pops out of gear then pops back in to gear sometime down shifts and shifts up again. I did a diagnostic check it is the high input sensor So Should I use a transmission or get a sensor. I can get a used transmission for $104 and a new sensor is $120 Which would be better or is that even the problem.

I don't feel the sensor is causing it to slip. If the trans you refered to is good and has a warranty, I would do that.
