Can a bad VSS sensor make my auto-tranny act up? It acts like it doesn't know what gear to be in. Downshifts hard coming to red lights, and doesn't engage till about 1700rpm when I accelerate.

The VSS will definately cause issues with the transmission

there are stories of people ruining transmissions by not replacing the vss, it's controlled by the ECU, and the VSS sends bad data to the ECU, causing bad shift points, and downshifts when in higher gears, etc

Replace it dude. It's cheap and easy to do. Will save you a lot of money and pain down the line.

Good luck!

No way you take it to a shop to do this. It's like 2 bolts and 1 wiring harness. Ridiculously easy.

well I replaced mine this weekend and it took a lot longer than that, lol. The bolts holding the plastic shield where all rusted and impossible to remove, the connector from the vss to the wiring harness was impossible to disconnect, and it was friggin cold, lol. But 1 hour is resonable, half if you're real good n fast.

+1 definitely VSS. You only have to replace the electrical part.

I have one that is nearly new for sale if you want it. $20 bucks shipped. It has about 500 miles on it. Came off a car recently totaled. PM me if interested.

Also, the VSS issue can cause seeming problems with your transmission, such as cruise control dropping out because it's using that sensor for maintaining speed.

Also, if you want I can remove it and take video on the way so you know how to reinstall it.
