Transmission problem
1996 Ford Escort 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

I have pulled out a month ago the broken speedometer cable.Have NOT replaced it.
Now it has problem shifting.
Does the vehicle speed sensor require the speedometer cable to be present or the vehicle speed sensor is failing????
Best Regards, John

The VSS is required for the trans to shift properly. If it is bad, it should set and engine code.
