Yep, I’ll be getting a Motorcraft one from the dealer later this week, will put it in at 300k miles when I change the filter again. Ha maybe I’ll get two so my spare will be Motorcraft as well...

What are the chances the one in this blown transmission is still good? Not sure what else I'd salvage off it.

For the $15 price of a brand new sensor I wouldn’t chance it 😉

New sensor is in, reading the correct temp, and I even managed to not get any trans fluid on myself! Woot!
