anyone? it is an eletrical connector with a red end. maybe im wrong about pressure, ive never dealt with these transmissions. any help would be appreciated.Hello, I recently rebuilt my 4r100 for the third time, this time it only lasted two months!! I will never purchase a 4r100 again! I love my truck and am changing it over to a manual as we speak. I am taking pictures and will post them asap. So far everything has been super simple, not super cheap. my question is about my (new to me) 6 speed. What is the sensor on the top of the trans for? there is only one on the whole thing, I took it out and it has a ball bearing with a spring inside a tube. I think it must be for measuring pressure since it can only be moved by pressure from fluid inside. I have looked at hundreds of pages of info and cant find anything. I understand many of you cant understand why i would do this but again i love my truck but hate the auto trans. As soon as im finished i will post pics.
i figured it out. it is a backup light switch! when i switched over to the 6 speed i lost my reverse lights, i wired this switch up to the reverse lights and they work now. the ball bearing must ride up on reverse gear or shaft triggering the switch to turn power on. i will have pics sometime in the next day or two.Hello, I recently rebuilt my 4r100 for the third time, this time it only lasted two months!!

here is the pics! The first pic is the truck before anything except i installed the clutch pedal already, it was very easy everything was already there. the second pic is transfer case input shaft, it was not too hard, if you are trying this swap you already have enough smarts to do it. the third pic is how i cut the floor to accept the new taller s6-650. i then beat with a sledge hammer the rest of the floor up enabling the trans to fit. the fourth pic is the finished product! the fifth pic is the old shift solenoid out of my old auto trans bolted to the side of my frame so the engine started and ran fine and did not throw any codes. i also took all of the other sensors and mounted them to the frame so my computer thinks im setting still in nuetral. i did not cross a single wire using this method. i did however put rtv sealant in all the solenoid holes so that they will function for a long time without being in my old trans.Hello, I recently rebuilt my 4r100 for the third time, this time it only lasted two months!!
