jerks like like does not want to shift gears - when go up to 60 feels like it's jerking. Had the sensor replaced at about 80K miles but now having the same issue. Please advise.

Hello .. thanks for the donation .. much appreciated

The vehicle needs to be plugged into a diagnostic computer to see if there are any transmission related fault codes stored (not all generic OBDII handheld scanners will read trans codes) this sound like an internal pressure issue in the transmission rather than a speed sensor fault .. speed sensor faults generally cause the trans to shift early/late .. most good trans shops will be able to diagnose/repair the fault for you

Hope this helps
