Input Speed Sensor Assembly
The input speed sensor faces the 1-2-3-4 and 3-5-R ELECTRICAL OUTPUT
clutch housing and is triggered by splines on the CONNECTOR SPEED
housing outside diameter. The sensor receives 8.3- SENSOR
9.3 volts from the TCM, and produces a signal
frequency based on the spline profile and rotation
speed of the 1-2-3-4 clutch housing. The TCM uses
this signal to determine line pressure, shift timing,
TCC slip speed and gear ratio.
Output Speed Sensor Assembly INPUT
The output speed sensor faces the output shaft SPEED

housing and is triggered by slots in the housing
outside diameter. The sensor receives 8.3-9.3 volts
from the TCM, and produces a signal frequency based
on the machined slots and rotation speed of the output
