Where is this sensor, and how often do they go out?

Showed some signs of living, but then just died. Replacing clutch, so I want to fix this too.

Someone said it is probably just loose bolts.

Just want a picture of where it is at.

Look at the throttle body. Then look down. Its on the top of the tranny, right by the TB/Intake/firewall area. Its a black plug with two 10mm (i think) bolts. It takes 15mins to replace, and a junkyard charged me $25 for the one i picked up.

I read that you can clean them. Is that possible?

I dont see why you would need to. Its an electrical sensor, and a moving part inside the transmission. Ive never seen them get gummed up or anything. I guess you could try spraying some contact cleaner on the electrical part, give that a try.

It didn't go out until I replaced the Slave Cylinder.

Not related probably, but kinda weird.

You know what they say you fix something and the next weakest link in the chain goes not that they are really related but I would just go junk yard shopping I got one for my motor for ten dollars and all I had to do was pull it myself which took me about five minutes.

I am installing a clutch tomorrow, so I will see about it then.

you can pretty much get one from any 92-96 civic or 94-01 integra.. i got mine out of an automatic 92-96 civic from a junk yard and it works perfectly.. best $5 ive ever spent

Automatic Integras have a different VSS, and im 99% sure the civics do too.
