ANSWERED ,, Thank you all!
It ended up being a 23 cent O ring around the base of the speed sensor !!)))))
Now that's a happy ending I can live with !!!


I have a transmission leak on a 1995 Dodge ram van b3500, I called in to the dealership with my VIN number and they said it was a 46 RH 4speed automatic,,
Then he proceeded to tell me that it was the neutral safety switch but I'm starting to doubt it,,
It is a sensor on the driver side of the van and it is not on the central part of the transmission but it's toward the rear of the transmission, pictures included, PS does anyone know when I take this out to replace whatever o-ring I end up replacing all my fluid come out?

NOTE: it is actually leaking between the sensor and the transmission case NOT from the internals of the actual sensor,, I was thinking it was a speed sensor but the ones that I see don't match part number and they sort of look like they screw in, this looks like it's inserted and then the 7/16 bolt holds it in? I'm confused?

Does anyone have a link to where I can find this part ?


Looking at this from the driver side of the vehicle looking at this from the driver side of the vehicle

 

Vehicle speed sensor. Its kinda a hybrid, its a gear driven signal generator. I think it's just an o-ring that seals it.

 

That's definitely the speed sensor. That sensor is what drives the speedometer.
