Good morning,

I attached pictures of the location of the speed sensor for you.

What is the issue that leads you to replace this sensor?

Okay, are there any codes set in the system?

The stuttering is a known issue. That is torque converter shutter. To verify, there is an additive at a parts store you can add to the fluid. Drive it for about 25 miles. If the stutter stops, it is the clutches in the torque converter that is the issue and the torque converter needs to be replaced.

When was the last time you change the fluid and filter?

The fluids and filter has never been changed. That's the plan for the weekend.
