Default CEL P0720

I got code P0720 (speed sensor)

my MODs:
Vortech supercharge at 10PSI.
OEM tranny + gears
OEM header.
T1R v3 70MM single test pipe + exhaust.
CM stage 3 clutch kit with CC 12 pound fly wheel.
1000cc id injectors

While I am driving Sometimes it comes a minute after I started the car. Sometimes 30 minutes after while I am cruising on highway. And when I restart the car. It went away for a moment n it come back on. So anyone know what should do? Replace the sensor or the wires n adapter? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thx Leo

P0720 Output Speed Sensor Circuit Malfunction (Transmission)

I would unplug the sensor and plug it back in. It may just be a bad connection. Check the wires for chaffing while you're under there.

jack up rear wheels off the ground.... make sure the car is very very secure....

put the car in first and let the clutch out so the rear tires spin in the air. it shouldnt stall out if you let the clutch out without depressing the gas

go udner the car and unplug the sensor and test the voltage at the connector... if you get voltage in spec, sensor is bad - replace, if you have no voltage, or voltage that is higher or lower than spec, theres a wiring problem. you will probobly need a shop manual to find the voltage range on that sensor ;-)
