Default Sensors which affect the auto which ones should I order?

I want to combine freight so am looking at ordering more than one sensor from RA. At home I have a cam and crank sensor. I am ordering an output shaft speed sensor for the trans. The MAP sensor is pretty new as is the coil. I just want to see if I should add any other sensors to my cart since freight is $45 ATM and will only go up $5-$10 if I order another 1 or 2 sensors. I am thinking of the throttle position sensor as something which might affect the way my trans is behaving. Would that be correct? Basically covering every possibility as I am getting close to having the XJ back on the road and don't ant something minor to stop me from driving it.

Regards A

Air temp and coolant temp might be cheap enough to be worth getting
edit: they might not have any effect on the transmission, but if they're cheap why not throw them in

Would certainly get the TPS, is an easy one to install and cheap, as all sensors talk to ecu everything is linked and any fault in any part will create issues - now I need to look at speed sensor as well, keen to see others opinions on this as well.

After some reading on coolant temp sensors they can affect the way a trans TC locks up. Popped him into my cart. Getting up there in costs now but one big order will save me in the long run.

Air temp sensor doesn't appear to have any effect on the trans but I will get one regardless as it's cheap enough and it might help get me better economy as I currently get 15LPH on 95 octane. It does effect idle especially when cold and I have an idea mine could idle a little better than it does.

I am looking at swapping most sensors in an effort to resolve not only the trans issue but also regain some economy if possible. I may leave the cam sensor and crank sensor only because I reckon if they fail I will be stuck and not just have a rough idle or trans issues. I am fairly sure they won't have too much affect on the two issues I am hoping to rectify regardless. I have both of them on hand and can get a free flat bed home if they fail and I can't get going again. I won't be getting O2 sensors at this stage as they will be too exi with the additional warehouse location. I would need to buy a tried and tested brand of O2 sensors such as NGK so they can get done another time.

Regards A
