Q: Higher revs required to shift between gears
i have 1998 CR-V and engine code indicated the Trans Position Sensor was failing. I have not had issues of car starting in other than PARK. However, the car for last year is lingering between shifts longer than it used to, often requiring higher revs to shift to next gear....especially 2nd to 3rd. Any thoughts?

I have questions about my 2009 kia spectra's CEL and the codes I had read. Car run's good and was running good when light came on.
Given the three codes (https://www.yourmechanic.com/article/p0170-obd-ii-trouble-code-fuel-trim-malfunction-bank-1-by-andrew-quinn), a known issue with sensor wiring in that vehicle (to be discussed momentarily), and only 89,000 miles on the engine, I would judge the likelihood of sensor failure to be "average".
