Clean is the first word that comes to mind on what mine should look like. lol. but then again, you dont' have my oil leak. Looks like i need a new mount as well. YAY!! MORE MONEY TO SPEND!! lol. Oh well. Which mount is that technically? Trans or Engine? I'm starting to wonder if that mount is the reason why it's not working. lol. Thank you Daes. You've been very instrumental in this year long [i know i'm lazy] diagnosis.
Technically you only have one engine mount and the other three are transmission mounts. You don't need the actual mount, you just need the bracket that attaches to the mount.
There's a difference in these brackets between manual transmission and automatic. Make sure you get one for the manual. This is a dealership only part unless your lucky and can find a good used one.
And yes, that very well could be why the sensor isn't operating correctly. It looks like it's jammed in there pretty good. lol
I'm not a mechanic remember? lol. We had to look at YOUR transmission when it was on your garage floor to find my speed sensor.
Oh, and i'm doubly convinced it's THAT speed sensor now. Before, when i'd go around a right hand curve, if my speed was enough, it would move the needle up to 20 mph at the most [depending on how fast i really am going in the curve]. Now, it just sits there since i've disconnected/reconnected it. and the fact that the mount DOESN'T look like it's connected by ALL of it's bolts since one of them is broken, yeah, that's not good.
You're welcome. I'm glad my misery brings someone happiness.
I feel your pain Shiano. I hate those small things that are the most problematic problems. hate that $hit, hate that, fking hate these annoying little fkin problems.
