Dodge Stratus has only low gear. Can't Post

I have a 99 Dodge Stratus, Automatic. Just today suddenly the speedometer stopped working and no matter what forward gear i put the car in, it stays in low. Reverse does work, and so does park and neutral. Also, now it rolls back on a hill like standard would with the clutch in, until I step on the gas to continue, still in low gear.

There is a good chance your problem is the input or output sensors. We usually replace them in pairs as the second one may go out soon after the first repair. Here is a picture of their locations.

It was the output sensor after all. Thanks!

Thanks for taking the time to post the fix post. This may help someone else that comes in and looks through the forums.
