Default 2 temp sensors?

Ok my transmission guy says its the engine coolant temp sensor is the problem making my tranny shift in and out of 4th gear but he says theres 2 sensors. he said its not the one for the gauge in the cluster its the other one. Any body know where these 2 sensors are?
Thanks for your help

Not sure how an engine temp sensor would cause your tranny not to shift. But I don't know jacksh*t when it comes to autos. The only engine temp sensor I know of is on the driver side back just below the head... see diagram below:

My best guess would be you got the wrong sensor. I don't know for sure but that is what it sounds like.

I would take the one out of the block and take it to a parts house and show them this is what it looks like.
