hey guys i have a 98 grand limited with the 5.9 and just had my tranny worked on yesterday and they told me i need a new speed output sensor so i said ok and they replaced it i just picked the jeep up today and the check engine light was still on and it wont shift past second. it gets stuck in second gear unless i slip the gear shift out of drive into neutral and then back in to drive then it will shift through the gears but it starts the whole process all over again as soon as i come to a stop. any info would be greatly appreciated thanks jason

I wouldn't erase any codes. I'd leave them so the shop could see them. It's their job to fix the problem, since they were payed for the job. JMO
