Hi,

The range sensor is internal. It requires the removal of the fluid, pan, and I believe the valve body.

I attached the directions below for the removal and replacement of the range sensor. Take a look through it and let me know if you have questions.

Take care,

Joe

Hi,

It is doable, but it really isn't a quick or easy job for anyone. LOL If you feel confident, I suggest doing it. If you run into trouble, I'll be here to help.

Take care,

Joe
