It isn't a sensor, and it's probably not a seal. It sounds like the forward clutch slipped and welded itself together. What's the fluid look and smell like?

now fluid smells hot,had ex taken on a flatbed to transmission shop,they said gears just came apart-mechanical failure,they are rebuilding for 1600,ex has 9inches of lift with 38s on it, im sure that didnt help.
