Sorry meant OSS (Output Shaft Speed) sensor, it's part of the transmission's electronic control system, namely it "sends a signal to the powertrain control module (PCM) to indicate transmission output shaft speed. The OSS sensor is used for torque converter clutch (TCC) control, shift scheduling and to determine electronic pressure control (EPC)." Without it the tranny will hunt for the proper gear to be in. From your description it sounds like you have erratic shifting...?
