One of these days I'll get a new plate that has the sensor in and replace it. Having a but of wire hang down from the diag. plug looks bad. I thought of another thing... while your in there replace the TABs with TOBY TABS if you haven't already. It's REALLY easy with no tranny.

It sets the gear depth spacing between the starter and the housing. The other two are water shields, a big deal when this trans is turned around in a front-drive car, not a big deal in the DMC. It's common practice to throw away the one that goes under the trans (just over the frame), but the other one normally gets put back on, often with only one screw but with the wire removed. The wire is an inductive pickup that goes to the diagnostic connector but isn't used anywhere.
