I am thinking about just driving my car and mashing up that damn plastic gear. Its funny, i couldn't get that gear out for my life. At one time I had it hooked with needle nose pliars and it wouldn't come out. Ok, the problem I had was, I pulled the 10 mm bolt, I pulled up on the sensor, and on the end of the sensor, is a little squar shaped metal rod that is spun by a plastic gear inside the tranny, and on one end of the gear, it mates with the square metal rod on the sensor and on the other end is a little cylindrical shaped part that seats on the tranny. correct? and the plastic piece/gear that is spun by a gear in the tranny is lost and now broken up. Thats what I need. So dino, thats the part number? sweet. Can you tell I'm a lazy ass? What if I just changed my tranny fluid a few times to try and get it out?
