Hi guy\'s

I noticed today while prepping my engine ready to go back that the sensor on the top of the gearbox has got the wires pulled out.. Presumably this happened when the engine was removed.. Has anyone got a sapre of this?

There is not really enough left to try and join the wires back together.

Thank you

A safe bet would be to speak to Tim or Matt at RXmotors they\'re bound to have one somewhere! And they\'re not a million miles from you.

Cheers Chaps,
I was going to try soldering it first if I can remove a bit of plastic around the wires to expose some clear copper I will give it a bash.. What do these sensors do?
Would the sensors be the same in say an MX5 or something?

Thank you
Lee
