7/15/2011 Spoon SportsThere are 2 speed sensors that i know of
1. VSS - Vehicle Speed sensor which is responsible for sending your actual speed to the gauge located in your tranny
2. ABS Speed sensor - which determines your ABS activation which is located behind your brake rotors

Why does my car have a big jolt when I put in reverse or sometimes it does not go in reverse at all?diann464 - 1999 Lexus ES300 - Transmissions & Drivetrains - 5/13/2011-
5/13/2011 Spoon SportsThere could be several causes for the concern you have stated. My first question is: Does it exhibit the concern all of the time or just during cold start-up? If it is only when cold the engine will be idling higher and thus more torque is input to the trans. The problem could lie in weak/busted engine and/or trans. mounts allowing the engine or tranny assy. to "jolt" around as you say. If it does it all the time I would still check the mounts, idle setting, throttle pressure(trans. shop), u-joints, rear-end(axle) backlash(wear). I would raise the hood and observe what is occurring as someone places the trans. in reverse. If nothing seems out of the ordinary to you I recommend a reputable shop in your area.
5/13/2011 diann464I've only noticed it when I either do a cold start or or sometimes After I let it run for about ten minutes. Thanks for the information. I'll have this checked out.
