Input Speed Sensor Circuit

Input Speed Sensor Circuit:





Circuit Description:
The input sensor is of the magnetic induction type and is located on the left side of the transmission just forward of center. Serrations cut in the forward clutch housing induce a small A/C current as they pass by the input sensor.
