It’s the Little Things That Matter
Whenever a transmission fails to work correctly after a rebuild, a small error like cross-connecting speed sensors can cause a major headache.

The P0763 Headache
A call came in to ATSG’s technical help line concerning a 2009 Kia Borrego with a 3.8L engine using a 5-speed RWD transmission called the A5SR2.

There are three basic levels or sizes that can overlap vehicle models and engine displacements.
