Yes it can cause the transmission not to shift or shift at the wrong points. Just get one from a junkyard and change it yourself. Not hard at all to do. Just one 10mm bolt holding it in. I think you may have to splice the wires, but it still a very easy fix that you should be able to do yourself in about 1/2 hour if you solder the connections.
Oh yeah, the reason it won't shift isn't because the sensor is in the transmission, it's because the computer is looking at the signal from the speed sensor to help it know when to shift.

It is towards the back of the trans on the tail cone on the right(passenger) side(I think) You have to be under the car to get it out. Most junkyards will lift the car for you if you need them to, especially because they don't want to be liable if the car falls on you and you die or are severely hurt.
