Well, why would you not want to change it?
5 minutes of your time and $20 and your driving will be totally different.
And yes, the difference is huge. No more hard dropping into 2nd and all the gears change smooth as silk.
There's no other Mod except maybe a Supercharger that has as great an impact on noticeable driving, and it costs a whole $20.

Ok. My TSS (turbine speed sensor) is white from the tranny rebuild at 26K miles. I'm thinking that it went bad again. Should I still change it even though I have that hard shifting into 3rd?? I don't want to waste my money on a new one that might not solve the problem.

Ok guys my CEL came on, I ran the code and it came up as me needing to replace my TSS again... I know I installed it correctly. My questions are, could it be a bad part from the factory, if not (its a pretty simple design)....or could there be something else bad in before the sensor that is making this sensor go bad.
What else is there to replace?
My O/D is blinking also. I have harsh 2-3 up/down shift.

Since you just got it, I would take it back and exchange it for another sensor.
It *could* be bad.

I have a '96 V6 ATX, original trans, 87,000 miles, fluid changed around 50 or 60k. The only time I get a BANG 1-2 shift is when I run it to high revs in first gear and then circumstances dictate I back off the throttle and it does a part-throttle or no-throttle shift from high revs...POW, rock-hard. Doesn't happen at lower revs, doesn't happen if I keep my foot floored on the gas. Would this sensor fix this?

I think this was Chris Hightowers original reason for even posting the idea for changing out to the new sensor a month or so ago. The new style can also solve some other weird things that the tranny does and that is a very long story becasue it depends on what problems you are having.
But yes, the symptoms that you describe was the original intent of Hightowers thread about trying this new sensor.

Ahh yes, and see that if I had actually read the link I wouldn't have had to ask. Thanks.

2 Things I have the Torque Convert Clutch Soleniod stuck in the off position and the TSS is apparently bad.
What comes first in the line of communication the Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid or the TSS. I am thinking it is either a bad wire running to the TSS or a bad computer. My ground broke off my battery towards when this first started happening and I think I either fried the computer or there is a bad wire. If the TSS comes first I think that there is aproblem with the TSS and it is throwing the torque converter soleniod off.

TSS or Turbine Speed Sensor, works in conjuction with the Tachometer.
When the Torque Converter locks up, the computer compares Engine RPM to Turbine RPM.
If the two are equal, then the Torque Converter is locked 100%.
Since the Torque Converter can be modulated by the computer,
when the computer commands lock up and it doesn't get 100% lockup,
the readings between these two sensors will cause you to get these errors.
If the computer commands 67% lockup and the difference between
the RPMs isn't within 67% you get this code as well.
The Torque Converter Clutch solenoid will give you an OFF error
if the Torque Converter is commanded to LOCK and nothing happens at all.
If the Solenoid is shorted or open, you should get an out of range error.
If no error, then assume your wiring is good. and the solenoid is just not functioning.
The solenoid can be replaced without removing the tranny.
You may have to remove the Radiator to give you enough room
to take off the side pan from the CD4E.
