Replace your speedo cable...the #1 speed sensor needs it to function.
It's also likely the reason your speedo stopped working too

The tranny uses the speed sensor to determine shift points...there is also the #2 speed sensor on the tranny.

When you replace the cable, make sure it is no where near the downpipe...that will melt the cable causing it to fail again.
