Long story short, my S13 5 speed tranny has a leak through the sensors. Pretty much from all the sensors other than the speed sensor (all the small ones, Reverse, Neutral, 4th gear, and 5th gear sensors)

I have heard most of the sensors are basically useless and i could just plug them up and cut/seal the wires. I plan to just get a new reverse sensor and plug the rest up (would be nice to have reverse lights)

Here are my questions:

1) Is it ok for me to remove the other sensors (Neutral, 4th gear, 5th gear sensors)? Is there any re-wiring I have to do? What do those 3 sensors do? any adverse effects after removal?

2) Do anybody know what I can use to plug those sensor holes? (just find a bolt with the same thread and pitch?)

3) any hints on taking off that tranny fill plug? It’s a super pain in the ass…..


sorry for the long post, any info on this subject would be a great help for me.


Thanks in advance...
