Good evening,

It sounds like you may have damaged the transmission.

What is the exact code?

Let's start with the code.

Thank you.

Again, what is the code number? I need the number as there are several codes for this sensor.

The sensor is under the car where the right front axle comes out of the transmission.

I saw that.

I still need the code number that led you to think the sensor is bad.
