Re: V6 removal of the speed sensor on the gear box?

Woo Hoo

good to hear it came out ok.
i was a bit worried passing on a whole gearbox if had had broken coming out......


it was soaked in WD40 every 3 or 4 days, over the course of 3 weeks.
Plus it was out of the car...

All the best.

Good luck with refit......
