Shifting Gears

What do you do when your car suddenly starts shifting erratically, and the transmission light and check engine lights both come on?

Well, if you're me, you break out your PalmPilot with OBDII data cable and connect to the car's computer to find out what's wrong. Then you go buy a replacement Transmission Speed Sensor and replace it.

That's all fine and good, but what do you do if you're me, with a herniated disk? You flip a switch to fire up the air compressor while your wife jacks up the car, you hand your wife the 1/2" drive impact gun, watch her take the wheel off, and then you hand her tools and verbally direct her while she replaces the sensor.

Yes, my wife is that fucking awesome.
