Removing the output speed sensor, it broke on me. the plastic piece with the o-ring on it is still in the transmission. Need suggestions on how to remove it. I appreciate all of you.

Hi,

These are always fun. LOL Don't laugh, but I have used a lag screw and screwed it into the portion of the sensor that is stuck. Usually, they grab it really well and I'm able to pull the sensor with it.

I found a pic on YouTube of what I'm trying to describe. The person drilled a hole in the sensor (not too deep) and then (in this case) he used a concrete bolt. Take a look at the pic below. What he is doing usually will work.

Let me know if you have other questions.

Take care,

Joe
