Question '06 Altima engine or transmission speed sensor?

My wife's 2006 Altima 2.5L just started showing the check engine light. She mentioned that it kinda "lost power" for a brief second or two while driving (this happened several seperate times).

So, I took it up to Advaced Auto Parts and had the OBD test ran and the employee told me that it showed two codes; one for the crankshaft position sensor, and one for the "transmission speed sensor" (I didn't write the code # down, will post as soon as I can retest). On the way home from the parts store the car died in traffic, but I was able to get it to restart after a couple of minutes.

I went ahead and bought the crank shaft position sensor and replaced it (light is still on). I've looked through to manual and several websites, and I haven't came across anything called a "transmission speed sensor", I've seen a lot of mention of a "engine/vehicle speed sensor". Could this be the sensor that the parts guy was talking about?
