Output speed sensor circuit malfunction

[waterboy1270]

My 01 gt auto just had a torque converter installed, and ever since ive had trouble with this check engine code (P0720- Output speed sensor circuit malfunction). The check engine light comes when i stall the car above 2000 rpms and launch or do a really nasty burnout. And when the light comes on the car bogs down to 3000 rpms, the overdrive light flashes on and off, and the odometer reads blank miles. This has only happenned to me at the drag stip. Does anybody know anything about this code? Or what i could do so that the light doesnt come on anymore and the car doesnt bog down? Thanks alot.

Have you checked to make sure the plug is connected in there firmly? My plastic "locking" piece was cracked so it wasn't staying on all the way which was resulting in the codes being thrown. At first I was worried since I just had bought a new VSS sensor and still was left with the same problem.

To tell you the truth, i cant find out where the sensor is hooked up, i thought it was on the output shaft of the trans but i couldnt find it anywhere. If you could tell me where it was, i could check it out, thanks a bunch.

I'm not certain that this is your problem by any means, but it'll cost you nothing to check

It's located on the driver side of the car towards the end of the tranny.
