The linkage is still connected, but I have some more information around 1 month ago he had the fluid changed at the dealer, a short time later the vehicle would not shift out of 1st. The engine light came on and autozone or advance told him it was a speed sensor problem. The dealer stated it did not have this sensor and sold him an electronics package and 3 quarts of fluid. My Soldier removed the pan, removed whatever sensor he was sold (he destroyed the old one taking it out) and added 3 quarts of fluid. (is it true there is no dip stick?) now the car does nothing. Do I need to go in and pull the pan to check the sensor? could this sensor cause this problem (improperly installed, broken wire, not seated ETC). Thank You for the previous reply's.
