Removing it will give you a slight delay in trans action on the first startup of the day, but, afterwards, works just fine. It won't hurt anything by NOT being there, but, it can kill your trans if it gets plugged up.

Alright, thank you for the answers

So, i took the pan down just now and....... *drumroll*..



Tada, wrong sensor (if im not looking at the wrong one haha).

So, i guess i need to change the cables that goes with it as well?

EDIT: sorry for bad picture, but oil was still dripping and i don't think my phone likes oil. Can take a better picture if somebody wants to.

Harness and connectors should be all the same. Just the mount is a bit different. Get the right sensor, and clip, and you should be golden. Think I would replace the governor pressure solenoid as well. I don't *think* that they changed.... but, just in case.

Alright, but is the gov. pressure sensor and maybe solenoid really all i need to change?
No other sensors or so? I get the feeling that neither my dealer or the other dealer who built this tranny knows the answer for that.
I'm just stunned by the fact that the dealer who build this tranny doesn't know that he put in the wrong sensors...

EDIT:

By looking at these links

(Wrong one)

(Right one)
http://www.transmissionpartsusa.com/...-000053397.htm

the connectors doesn't look the same.

Not much in the way of electronics in your trans. Aside from the governor stuff, (sensor/solenoid) there are just two other solenoids left. Those are pretty much the same from 96 and up. So, just the two, and you should be golden.

Yeah, does make me wonder how the DEALERSHIP could screw up their own trans rebuild....... Not exactly confidence inspiring.

Ah okey, i'll give my dealer a call tomorrow and see what he says..

But the 8 way connector on the outside of the tranny, that should be the right one at least? I just looked at the sensor and i need to replace the wirings/harness that goes to the sensor, since the connector is not the same.

Here's my little truck as it's standing.

Ah, hopefully, the new parts will come with the wiring bits you need. If not, order those up too. Don't forget the clip that holds it all in place.

You can download the parts manual from here.

The Harnesses are different because of the plugs for those transducer's.

Alright, so i need one of those too. Is this something i can change for myself? Or do i need to bring it in to the dealer?

That 8 pin male connector on the picture you just linked to, that's the one that goes to the outside of the tranny right?

Also, what do you think of the solenoid, something i need to replace?

8 pin plug is for the sensors you are looking at replacing and the TC and OD lockup solenoid.
So you would have to replace the 8 pin harness.
I would take it back to the dealer and see if they will do anything about it.
Probably not after you explain how you dropped the pan to find out they are the wrong sensors.
I think some dealers send trans out to be rebuilt by trans shop.
Why was the trans replaced to begin with? chances are the check valve may be plugged and you could have toasted another trans because of that plugged check valve.
