Or any 3 wire sensor. You except for the OEM you will have to cut-splice the
harness. Use self sealing butt connectors or shrink tube.

Latest update.
After a private consult in beautiful Sebastian FL with Dr Haynes yesterday,
I have discovered my little nylon balls are shot. There were some minor
adjustments made by the good Doctor so that I could actually engage first
and second gears - always useful when moving off from a standing start.
Thank you for ALL your suggestions. Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving
and left some room for turkey sandwiches.
Keep smiling
