My 1998 Chrysler Sebring 2.5L 6cy. does not make the final shift into drive at 40mph as it should. It does make the first two shifts (automatic trans). Is this a transmission speed sensor problem or some other sensor problem? Thanks

Scan it for codes first before you even think about throwing any parts at it. Even before that, make sure the fluid level and condition is good.

I just replaced the PCM computer, could that be it? Thanks so much

It would help if you would stay with your original post instead of starting this new one.
