SERVICE INFORMATION
No matter how well it's packed, a reman A/T sometimes gets damaged in shipping. If the reman A/T you're installing came with a broken speed sensor, just pack up the A/T and send it back for another one. But if your client wants the vehicle pronto, go ahead and replace the broken sensor.
If you're replacing the speed sensor, check if it's got a spacer (some speed sensors do). If it does, make sure you install the spacer with the new sensor. If you forget to do this, the sensor will get damaged by the differential gear.
