Crankshaft sensor problem, code P0335

Welcome to 2CarPros.

If you look at picture 1, it shows location of the sensor. Here are the directions for replacement. Picture 2 correlates with the directions. I hate to say this, but the first thing indicated in the directions is to remove the transmission

Here are the directions to access the sensor. I have no idea why they put these things in hidden places. Normally it takes about 30 minutes to replace a crank sensor. This one is a major undertaking. It calls for 6.4 hours labor.
