Anyone know the size and thread pattern of the speed sensor bolt in the tranny, i need a new one cuz its leaking fluid cuz the bolt is stripped?

thanks

 

I believe its a 1/4 20 bolt short length maybe 3/4". But if it leaks doesnt mean you need the bolt. You probably can replace the sensor for around 35 $ or maybe even just the oring. I would clean off the seat area also to ensure a good seal.

 

thanks, im going to get a new sensor but the bolt is stripped and i cant tighten it down. im gonna try that size bolt

 

Ok. I could be wrong but im pretty sure thats its. Good luck man.

 

If the bolt is stripped, good chance the threads in the trans are damaged. Might want to run a tap down to clean it up

 

Very good idea, thank you for the input... I didnt even think of that

 

No problem man...hope it works out for you

 

how much fluid should i expect to come out when i remove the sensor?

 

I dont think any. It may though if you jack the front of the car up higher than the back,or if its overfilled. But you should be ok.

 

Shouldn't be much

 

Your gonna need a helicoil... Just sayin
None
