I got a second opinon from a transmission shop and in their scanner it wrin up code P0726. They told me no reading is coming back from the (turbine speed sensor). In case of any of those two things being true, is there a possible way that i can do this repair my self? If yes! Where and how much am I looking to spend in parts. In what part of my car will I find this sensors?

Tnx folks for any answers?suggestions to my trouble.....
