The easiest way to pull the sensor:

1. Jack up car and use jackstands. Disconnect battery!
2. Support motor near transmission bell housing with jack. Put a little pressure on it.
3. Unbolt front motor mount. Two bolts go through starter. Pull starter and set to the side. No need to disconnect wires.
4. Unbolt Main Allen type bolt going through round part of motor mount. (Bottom side)
5. Remove both the rubber and metal mounts. It's tricky, but if you turn it on it's side you can maneuver it out.
6. A few people say to remove the oil filter. I didn't fint it necessary.
7. Unplug sensor from harness, follow the wire back and pull the clip securing it to the block. It's a pull type.
8. Use a 6mm ball end Allen Wrench to unscrew the bolt from the sensor in the block.

You have to pull the motor mount because the sensor is located right behind it. Unless you have tiny hands and a bendable allen. LOL

That's about it.

Is this the same as the Engine Speed Sensor G28? If it is I don't suppose you have a part number do you please? I'm searching for one too
