On my car, the speed sensor sits on a $200 plate(part #1402700861). The valve body is a completely different part (part #1402700406) and costs about $1K. But I'm not a transmission guy, and your transmission could be a lot different than I thought it was, so I'd have to defer to your mechanic.

also the price on the conductor plate has come down a lot too, around $100 now. I've also had pretty good luck cleaning the fluid out of the trans modules when they get filled, doesn't always work but will in a most cases.

Yes sir it is. He has had all of this replaced and we have talked a lot about. So its all good. I am actually pretty happy knowing this was all solved before I got anywhere near it! So looks like I should be great for the next 100k!
