This part cross-references Standard Ignition SC634 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Erratic or missing transmission speed sensor signal
• Harsh, delayed, or inconsistent shifting behavior
• Transmission warning lights related to speed sensor faults
• Diagnostic trouble codes tied to input speed sensor performance
• Drivability concerns caused by inaccurate transmission speed feedback

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the connector style, terminal count, and input-position application before installation. Inspect the transmission connector and wiring for corrosion, bent terminals, or damaged locking tabs before connecting the new sensor. Because no wiring harness or mounting hardware is included, reuse or source any required vehicle-specific components as needed. Confirm the vehicle’s year, make, model, and transmission configuration against the listed fitment before service.

Quality Assurance

NTK manufactures technical sensors using OE-based development and testing methods, including thermal shock, vibration, and OBD verification. AU0036 is built to meet or exceed OE specifications for the listed applications.
