EST sensor fitment

[Wheelz60]

Is there a trick to refitting the EST sensor to the correct depth into the trans?
I've just torn the botom clean out of mine.

dont

replace the EST with a electronic distributor off a VH, and welcome yourself to a new world of reliability, tune-ability and the end of stupid EST issues

I just found that "suggestion" in an old thread. (some made it sound like a demand (-: ).

I'll check the price difference, unfortunately $$$ will have to govern the path taken at the moment.



I've just been quoted $60 for the sensor and $125 for the dissy.
I guess I'm just gonna have to stick with the EST system for a while longer.


OMG!! :my:
My wife just told me to get the dissy!!!
Ya coulda knoced me over with a feather!!!!

yeh

you'll thank her for it forever after

the EST really was crap, and to be honest you would replace that sensor and it probably still wouldnt work

there should be a bolt hole for it to be put straight in and will sit at the right height,

no problems really

I have experienced a similar problem re the sensor being damaged. After many frustrating hours I removed the gearbox and found that one of the pins on the flywheel had actually moved out slightly. It was hitting the bottom of the sensor. I tapped it back in with a mallet and bingo, no more problems. That was 2 years ago. I think the threads on replacing the ECU with a VH dizzy elsewhere on here is great advice.

ive noticed that there is a EST box behind the passenger side kick pannel. can i remove this aswell with all the other shit that goes with it or will it cause problems. btw i am replacing the VK dizy with a VC one. is it the same as a vh one?
