I've seen pictures online and "know" where it is, but I have yet to see a pic of it on a car with a Tip transmission. It must be different. There is absolutely NO room in there, from what I can see, to get a tool to get that sensor screw out.

Bentley calls fro removal of the rear wheel (fine), but their reference pic also shows it with the transmission apart from the engine. That SURE makes it much easier.

Is this something I should just take to the Indy and call it a day? I thought having a lift would make this type of stuff easy!!
I use a 1/4 drive ratchet handle and some long extensions through the wheel well. Not fun, but it comes out.
