Default Broken Piece

Okay so I put a new coolant temp sensor into my motor today. While sliding the new clip over the sensor it broke off the clip tab. It still stays on pretty good but what would it involve to replace this?

p.s. I forgot to mention i HATE electrical ****

he isnt talking about the actual sensor in the head, he is talking about the wire and plug that goes in to it. but transamws6 I think you will be fine and not have to replace it, as long as it feels tight in there you probably wont have to worry about replacing it.

Yep and the rear end too!

As stated it should be fine unless it comes off easily. I hope you don't treat your women as harsh as your car, you sure break alot of the minor stuff lol
