Troublecode 643 MLP sensor

Recent check revealed the above trouble code. Whats the common cause of this code?

Could the sensor be out of adjustment? How do you adjust it ?

Could it be a bad connector?

What are the symptoms that usually go along with this troublecode? Is it likely to be the cause of my pinging?

No doubt this will be a dealer only part. So whats the cheapest way to deal with this code?

Are you getting 643 or 634 ?

643 is Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) circuit while 634 is the MLP sensor.

It's the big connector on the side of the transmission, it tells the computer what gear your in among other things.

Here's other problem related to that 634 error code.
(R) = Engine Running test (M) = Memory code (O)=Key On Engine Off test

634 (O,M) = Park/Neutral Position (PNP) or Clutch Pedal Position (CPP) circuit fault Electronic shift transmission - Manual Lever Position (MLP) sensor out of range in Park-Transmissions

Now sure where to go from here but I would try to remove the connectors and clean them and see if that makes a difference.
