1998 Ford Escort Transmission

I have a Ford Escort and the automatic transmission will jitter while the car is coasting. The service engine light came on and it gave me a P0715 error and I want to know if the jittering while coasting has anything to do with the code? P0715 says "Input/Turbine Speed Sensor Circuit Malfunction" so I would also like to know if I replace the speed sensor will the jittering go away?
