Also the VSS and TSS sensors can cause erratic shifting, but again, fix the tach problem first as this can also cause bad shifting.

As far as the crank sensor goes...where is that located? Can I replace that myself is that a major PITA. I have a new vehicle speed sensor that was replaced along with the the TSS when I got my transmission rebuilt...so I dunno if that would be the problem or not, I'll check into that. Its just weird that all this would be happening at the same time. I've noticed that when I put my key in the ignition sometimes the red light next to the clock in the dash will beep erratically...and when I crank the engine it won't turn over. Other times I put the key in the ignition and the light beeps normally and the car starts right up...WTF is with that. Maybe new plugs and wires?
