The location of the gear shift sensor in the automatic transmission may vary depending on the make and model of the vehicle. However, most often it is located in one of the following places:
* On the transmission housing: The sensor can be installed directly on the transmission housing, usually in the rear or on the side.
*On the gearshift lever: The sensor can be attached to the gearshift lever that connects to the automatic transmission.
*Near the shift cable: For vehicles with a manual shift lever, the sensor may be located near the cable that connects the shift lever to the automatic transmission.
* In the automatic transmission control unit: Some vehicles have a gear selector position sensor that is built into the automatic transmission control unit.
Common symptoms of a faulty gear shift sensor:
*Unable to change gears
* Gear shifts are difficult or delayed
* Incorrect gear selector position is displayed on the instrument panel
