Default I need your help asap

I need to know which sensor of the two circle is the input sensor.

to make it short my transmission is shifting like shit and even to the point the car would not move forward at all.
96 accord CEL. P0715 is the code. (input/turbine sensor)

I went to the dealer and they dont know shit at all.
I just need to know which sensor is input so I can pay the dealer $110 for one.
this is the printout I got from the dealer. you may zoom in

first they didnt know anything about the sensor until a mechanic buying parts show them exactly what it was in their own computer but now ofcourse they dont know which sensor is what.

thanks

from the little I know about hondas I think the sensor is the one closer to the torque converter?
the problem with the transmission is that it stay in one gear and high rpm or it shift after it has been on the same gear and high rpm for a while.
a crazy friend of mine "girl" was driving my car all day yesterday and I think she was shifting from d1 to d4 all the time and today I got the car and surprise surprise.

yeah this suck. do you know what it feels like to be doing 20mph on the highway and your rpm at 5k oh boy I though it was going to blow up lol

well now I know what this sensors are good for.
The turbine sensor measures the rpm of the torque convertor output and the tcu compares engine rpm with turbine sensor rpm to determine the slip % of the TC.

let me know if that works because my 02 accord shifts a tad hard. Nothing that freaks me out but on rare occasions say I step on the gas and its supposed to shift to second, it takes a few seconds longer to engage.
