Inspect the wires where the come out of the sensor, inspect the quick connect and the wires on both sides, and finally take a good hard look at the magnetic sensor probe itself. Look for any signs of metal filings or damage to the end of the probe. Anything like that can cause problems.

David85,
My TC does lock and it does so right before shifting into O/D as I accelerate. I get O/D somewhere around 43-45 MPH assuming my speedometer is correct. My tach is 200 RPM off according to my timing meter; it is a Rotunda unit. The wires on my tach sensor are bare where it connects to the sensor housing but they do not touch each other.

With something like that, it becomes a judgment call. You didn't mention if your transmission was acting up at all, but considering how critical the RPM sensor is for the OEM setup (in all years, not just 92 and up), I would be tempted to correct the problem now before anything starts to act up. If nothing else, your sensor will have to be replaced eventually anyway so having a spare on standby wouldn't be a bad idea.
Is the RPM off by a consistent amount across the range of the engine? generally what happens is the tachometer will read too low or even fail to register near idle, then wake up somewhere in the mid range. I've never heard of one before that reads too high.
If you're not having any issues with it yet, then you don't need to take any drastic measures (yet) but just keep an eye on it.

It reads about 950 at idle. The timing meter said 750. It may be off by a progressive amount but I didn't investigate it that far. I'll put it on my list of things to do. Right now, I am suspecting a bad IP, so I need to source a new one.
Sorry to hijack but I thought the sensor issue might be relevant.
