Maybe this sensor isnt leaking on yours if its on the top, this is on the side, maybe your reverse light switch leaks?
I think thats on top i thought, and i thought there was only 3 sensors on this thing, the cags, reverse lockout, and backup lamp switch.
Someone correct me if im wrong, thanks.
But i hope i ordered the right part and this is what i need lol

I've used Mobil 1 ATF for 10 years and had zero issues.

That said, I'm interested in trying the Redline D4/MTL mix to see if it's any better.

side note, don't use any of the Redline "Shockproof" in a trans with brass synchros ... At least for me it was non optimal,,ate them up.. check the rating vs the application.. Lesson learned..
