Hi guys, was really hoping you can help me out!

Was driving home today and the tranny started slipping. Then the CEL
came on. I pulled over, turned the car off, then restarted it, drove
fine for about 5 minutes. Started slipping again. Turned off, turned
on, driving fine again. I had the code pulled and is P0718 Turbine
Speed Sensor intermittent.

Would I just need to replace this part? Is it strange that the
transmission would stop slipping just because I turned the car off and
then on again? It doesnt matter if the car is off for 2 seconds or 2
minutes. Just turning it off and on again fixes it for a little
while. Maybe a bad connection somewhere?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also, if I do need to replace
this part, where would I find one, and is the part actually called
"turbine speed sensor"?

Is it only one certain gear it slips in?
