Don't need to take the clips off

Yeah, was about to say. The bracket bolts are easy to get to on the auto, compared to the manual. haha.

Undo the two bolts holding down the selector cable bracket and push it aside to get to the input shaft sensor bolt

Hi sahin do you have to remove air filter box (the big black plastic box) to remove the two bolts?

Only the top half

Where are these 2 bolts located? Are they the ones in front of transmission oil filter?

Right above the sensor and one is partly obstructed by a little bit of the gearbox mount

Sorry to be asking a lot but any chance getting the picture of the location of these 2 bolts? Cheers

I don't have a photo but you'll see them it holds down the selector cable (the cable that goes across the sensor you're trying to move)

Are the bolts in here?

That's the selector there's two bolts that bolt that whole bracket down

Close to the air filter box or at the back? I will double check it this evening

Oh yeah I was thinking manual for some reason

Don't listen to me... not like anyone ever does anyway

Merry Christmas everyone

Managed to remove the bolt that was holding the selector cable



I was struggling to get any tools in there let alone able to undo the nut

Will try again tomorrow as the sun was coming down and i couldn't really see a thing

Managed to get the sensor out. Wipe it and put it back on and now the issue seems to be fixed

Cheers guys

Sure enough it stuff up again. Where did you get it for 50 dollar? I was quoted 110 from local mechanic shop. He needs to order it from sydney

Thank you mate. I noticed that site mentioned couple of times but it escaped my mind when i was looking for the sensor

I couldn't find part number everywhere i search as i used the psrt number from this page http://www.camskill.co.uk/m3b17s12p7076 ... p_to_09_95 but in amayama i end up getting 2 parts for the same number. One with md prefix one without. I am not sure which one is the right sensor.

Cheers
