Shifting is bad after driving through a large mud puddle?

Okay, here's a little update: I drove the car around the block last night to check if it was shifting and it was. To me if a sensor or solenoid is worn out it won't do this, am I correct? I am telling you that I was up to the back bumper in a pool of muddy water, and that I believe it is that mud got into the cat with the water and as the water dries it leaves dry hard packed into all those little holes dirt/cement type mixture. I may as well get this confirmed and get a new cat welded on to my piping
i will keep you posted. But if you can confirm the part or let me know about the shift solenoid and maybe the role it plays in allowing me to shift for one ride and not another. That part has me twisted. I figure if something were broken, it wouldn't work. But if it is wearing out, would it be able to let me shift and then not allow it, or does it stay consistent with it's operation? I checked the trans fluid for water and its pristine. Nice and clear no dirt
and thanks for replying I appreciate it.

Hello! Thank you for asking me that. The answer is no, the speedometer is not working. Hasn't since I became unstuck.
