I was digging around under my car this week and noticed a sensor about midway down the transmission that was disconnected. Could somebody tell me what this is and if it's important? I haven't had any issues with the trans itself, but I don't think the sensor is there without good reason

My first guess would be the skip shift solenoid. You're not the first owner?

on the left side i believe its the reverse lights then vehicle speed sensor and reverse lockout and skip shift are on the right side

No, not the first owner. Basically trying to tie up any loose ends the previous owner chose not to tell me about...

Well if its on the Drivers side i would say skip shift as well. Check and see if reverse lights work or if the skip shift function works. Install university has pictures of the skip shift solenoid.

Skip shift does not work at all. I'll double check on the rear lights

All-In

If the skip shift function was tuned out by someone with a Tech II, the dash light will not come on and the solenoid will not activate, OR maybe they installed a skip shift eliminator and the plug that normally goes there is tied off or zip tied somewhere near that location. If a skip shift kit was installed, the dash light will still come on.

For mine, I just wired in the appropriate resistor, wrapped the solenoid in electrical tape, put some heatshrink tubing over it and tucked it out of the way instead of paying for tuning software or the skip shift eliminators. I would bet that's what it is.

yeah, back up light switch is on the right side or trans
