Can wheel damage cause shifting issues

Asked by GuruXDHM4 Oct 01, 2018 at 09:55 PM about the 2001 Hyundai Santa Fe 2.7L GLS AWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have 01 Santa Fe GLS that has recently suffered a blown strut on the front
drivers side.. My kid didn't realize he shouldn't drive it like that and did for
almost a month.  At the same time the car has stopped shifting beyond 2nd
gear.  Reverse, 1st 2nd all fine.  It seems I might have heard there are sensors
in the wheels that tell the tranny when to shift.  Could the problem be related?

Unless the stress somehow damaged the transmission somehow the problems are unrelated. The transmission is probably bad. The sensors you are referring to are for the ABS system.
