Transmission input shaft speed measuring assembly

A device for sensing the speed of a rotating transmission input shaft positioned within an associated torque converter stator shaft, the device comprising:

• a plurality of markers circumferentially spaced about the input shaft;
• and
• a sensor, configured to sense the markers, positioned in close proximity to the circumferential markers through a hole in the torque converter stator shaft, wherein the torque converter stator shaft includes an axial body with a radial flange extending therefrom, and wherein a transmission pump housing is mounted about the torque converter stator shaft and the sensor has a body extending beyond the torque converter stator shaft axial body and a clip extends between the sensor body and the transmission pump housing to secure the sensor.
