Saw your review on Amazon, found my way here. I’d been feeling this job was within my skill set, but it is super helpful (and confidence inspiring) to watch someone else do it/talk about the process. Fantastic video, job well done, an instant classic 😁. Thanks for contributing to the community knowledge bank!
You definitely have the research skill set to tackle a job like this one (finding me from my comments on the part on Amazon). I'm glad the video helped - it really wasn't a particularly difficult job, though some might find the concept of soldering daunting (I wouldn't suggest using the "low heat heat shrink tubes" for this, because of the amount of heat in the transmission - hate to think it might un-solder the wires!). Jut remember to NOT do what I did, and leave a couple bolts in BOTH ends of the pan when you're working it off (saving the h tranny fluid bath). Other than that, should be easy peasy!
Just did this today with the help of your video, now just waiting for sealant to dry before final torque. Only bought 5 qts of atf so going to have to run to get more. Great video with all of the important details! Thank you!
Yessir got it. I purchased based on drain and fill amount. No problem, need to wait 24 hrs before filling anyway so I'll stop by the dealer tomorrow. Thanks!
@ i’m glad you did! thank you so much, it helped me do the repair myself and I saved over $1500. My shop was going to charge that and also wanted to replace the valve body but turns out, it wasn’t necessary. Ha!
@mikeb4853 the DIY approach to car maintenance can be a real game changer! I'm always happy to help others keep their cars on the road without having to break the bank.
Having the same issue on my 2008 Tribeca now. I know you shared which sensor you got, would any of the other options on Amazon work? Only 1 product shows a relatively quick delivery time. Thanks!
My selection was based on the best feedback rather than how fast I could get it. I wanted the best chance of a good repair. It worked out great, having the same color wires as the original, in the same order, so no chance of getting it wrong (which would double the work, at a minimum).

Did this over the weekend, worked mint! Merry Christmas Mark and thanks for saving me some much-needed cash.
@@jlindstrom3807glad to hear it worked out for you. Glad to hear that the video helped!

@@psychedwellness77 I am glad the video helped. I was a little surprised at how much fluid it took... A drain and fill takes only 4-5 quarts IIRC.
Oh, make sure and get the right fluid. I used Idemitsu HP (Subaru -spec'd)

This was just what i was needing. Thank you for showing us!
@@mikeb4853 I was looking for a video on the process, and couldn't find it either. That's when I knew I needed to make one. ;-)
