Trans shifting problem,with speedo bouncing

[Woodtick]

The 3 never flashed a code? Thanks to 4speed for helping me figure it out. It was the speed sensor in the transfer case,not the connector. I will keep the new connector as a spare because it's used all over the three. My 3 is a 06, so I had that sensor out when I serviced the T-case several weeks ago. The trans seems to be shifting better than it has in a while,but that could just be me. I love fixing a potential major problem with a $28 part and 10 min under the truck. Major delay between first and second and a slight delay from OD to 3rd. If it wasn't for the bouncing speedo,you would have thought the trans was going. Lucky me!!!

What were the symptoms? I have a feeling I have the same issue.

Wasn't shifting to second until 1700-2000 RPM. When I took my foot off the gas at 70 it would engine break to 55 MPH,then down **** to third? The speedo only bounced between 0 and 20. I'm dating myself a bit,but old cable speedometers would do the same thing when the little gear or cable were going bad. Not with the shifting,but the way the speedo was bouncing. What made it strange,no codes. My flipping truck flashes codes when the gas cap isn't on right. Because of the cold air intake I put on,the check engine light comes on when I drive it when it's below -10. I'm very happy with the end result,but it shows you that the computer sucks hog nuts.

Sounds similar to what's been going on with me. How hard is the swap?

10min repair. Very easy.

I have put 1500 miles on since changing the speed sensor. Pulled a trailer,off road and some highway. I can say it's fixed. I have received some requests for the part #. Picked it up at Advanced: BWD was the brand and the part#PT191. Hope this can help,was told by a few,my trans was shot.
