Took me about 2 minutes to find. Click the link below, lower left side. It is is side the trans embedded in the trans controls

I think your tranny project is slightly ahead in odds of success vs the sundance motor repair. Maybe 2%. But the lazer owner has been looking at car in driveway for 3 years? Well, walking by it, not actually working on it.

Sorry. Not exactly seeing the tranny sensor? Is it the E410 part number?

Also, Ive had this car for a month and a half. Working on many different projects.

420 is the number I think… As I mentioned before lower left diagram, way left, way low. Shows the electrical connectorbut has no part number but it does identify the trans temp sensor.

If I recall, the TOT (transmission oil temperature) sensor is integral with the solenoid pack and harness assembly for that transmission. It’s not serviced separately.

Okay. I was looking for a different accronym, sorry. Thanks.

It is printed in full; “Transmission Oil Temperature Sensor” above the “(TOT)” right on the picture showing its location

The repair method of looking at it, but not doing anything, I’ve seen that. Reminds me of a co-worker who seemed to spend a couple hours a week during lunch looking under the hood of their car, week after week, but didn’t seem to ever remove or install anything. I always wondered what their objective was, hours and hours of looking but never changing anything, but believed it better for my own interests not to ask … lol ..
