There is an interesting article on this subject here. I had a link on my Links page that pointed to the original article from the Jan/Feb 2002 Gears publication. It has since been relocated though. The link above is a poor recreation of that same article, but gets the information out all the same.
The new style sensor solves all sorts of known problems. Why more of us haven't done it...? I have no idea.
Glad to see that it has worked great for you. Also, great how-to. 
P.S. I just updated the link on my page!

Wow...thanks a lot. That looks like it'll be a must-do for me.

so according to that article, we shouldn't use the sensor on older trannies such as mine. am i reading it right? something about the new sensor has weaker magnetic field and more specific tolerances.

I think it states that... yes. I have not read it in a while and need to brush up.
There are a lot of differences in the different year models of the CD4E. Like this is one example. The Torque Convertor Clutch Solenoid, which was changed in the middle of the 95 model year. Actually the 95 model year manual makes reference to only the old, low resistence solenoid body. And the vehicle speed sensor is different, because the cluster was changed from mechanical to electrical. Now what about the Range Sensor?? I don't know...
This is just some electrical elements that are different in different years. This does not mention any of the hydraulic or mechanical.

Oh...balls, it figures that mine wouldn't apply.  1995 Contours are just oddballs.

i'm still confused, is the new one weaker, yet it's better??? in that article unisys posted they used the new one on a 96 626 and it didn't work good and they say to find a good used older model TSS. so which is it? maybe good for newer cd4e's, not good for 95 and 96?
