noob here needs help tranny problems

Hello I just joined this site and have a problem and have no idea where to start. I have a 96 honda accord ex automatic. have put 3 transmission in it in about 3 years. Every time right before the tranny goes out I get a CEL and its always the speed sensor. And very shortly after that the tranny goes if I replace the speed sensor or not. Now is this just I have had bad luck with transmissions or is it a ecu problem or what? Anyone else ever herd of this? I will replace the tranny if I have to but would be great if it was something else since money is a issue. Thanks a lot for any help you can give.
Michael

when you put in the junk yard transmissions are you putting in fresh Honda AT fluid, too?

when I got my '97 AT 18 months ago I had the seller do 2 drain and fills (2.5 qts each) and
I have done 1 more since on an annual schedule. No problems yet, ~213,000 miles

no idea on speed sensor - luck.
