Q: My 2000 oldsmobile intrigue is shifting hard at semi high rpm and won't go into fourth gear
My 2000 oldsmobile intrigue is shifting hard at semi high rpm and won't go into fourth gear. Service codes call for replacing the crankshaft sensor and the input speed sensor. I checked the TSB and they said it could be a bad ground or wire. I have been unable to locate the input speed sensor. I am aware that this year of vehicle has non hardened fourth gear shaft and that it may be the problem. Would like to check the small stuff first. Thank you.
