Hi Ken, I am sure you are referring to the speed sensor which is connected to the trans body.

Please I like to know if the turbine speed sensor is inside the gear box or just on the body?

Do I have to open the cover and empty the transmission fluid to get to it, or its just fitted on the outside of the gear box?

Hi Ken, I got the transmission cover removed. I can see two turbine sensors at both ends opposite to each other. How can I test the sensors to know which is malfunctioning? Can I also interchange them?

Hi Ken. I got both sensors out and I did a resistance test with a voltage meter. On one I got 3.50 oms and the second I got 3.33 oms. I also did live data on output speed I realize the sensor with the 3.33 omes does not transmit as that of 3.50, while I hook the sensors with my ignition key open I had another mechanic using a screwdriver to touch the metal part on the sensors.

Hi Ken, please this is the part which I took out from the gearbox based on the images you sent. I hope this is what the turbine output speed sensor looks like?
