i absolutely love you people. this is my first post on this kick-ass forum. i have had this 1-2 bang crap for so damn long. i could never figure the problem out. as soon as i saw the title, i couldnt believe my eyes. i thought i was losing my tranny. i've been having a lot of problems with my 1996 mystique, and i wish i stumbled upon this forum earlier. keep up the great work and you'll hear from me again. im going to go buy that damn sensor first thing tomorrow. so many questions... i guess ill post them in the troubleshooting/general sections. Thanks again!!!

I just tried to replace mine today. After waiting for some dealer in the states to send the part to my local Ford dealer by courier turtle, ifinally found a sunny day to do the swap. Got the bolt out no problem and the old sensor will spin freely as much as it can but I can't get any outward movement. Soaked it with WD40 for an hour and still no luck. Any suggestions????????

Yeah, do exactly what I did. Keep spraying that WD40 and twist and PULL on it. Don't pull extremely hard until you've got it at least half way out. By twisting it back and forth you're actually getting that WD40 further inside and lubricating the entire part. That's probably the only way you'll get it out. Remember, it took me over an hour, so don't feel bad. Just keep twisting it back and forth, keep it lubed up and give it a good tug every once in awhile. Let us know how it goes too!

I changed mine on Friday, man, does it run nice! It is as smooth as my Tribute now. Got it from Bill in Lost Wages. One of the little lock bars broke off but the other one will keep it there.

Hello,
Will replacing the TSS cure recurring CEL P1744 codes?
I had the CEL P1744 and had the Torque Converter and Toque Converter Selenoid Modulator Valve(?) replaced. 13000 miles later (that's 1000 miles over the dealers repair warranty) I have the same problem.
I was wondering if the something as simple as replacing the TSS will fix the "1-2 Shift-Bang" that is being attributed to the P1744.
I'm not in the mood to shell out another $1000 Plus to have the whole thing replaced again.
Andy

Any update on this ?
