Truck Gear 1/2" Trans Line Sender Manifold
This is a easy install with just a few tools and a small mess
This also goes along with NoPlugs  ( Rob ) DIY on the replacement of the whole line

Here are the tools I used along with Rob’s DIY

3/4”- 7/8”  open end and 3/4” - 7/8” Flair Nut Wrenches
Sharpie, Ruler, and Tubing Cutter and Trans Line Sender Manifold





BEFORE YOU CUT MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE THE CORRECT SIZE Manifold FOR YOUR TRANS LINE

Next Find the Center then measure 1” each side of center ( The instructions says cut just 1” out But I found that 2” is Perfect ) then cut out with the Tubing Cutter ( Measure TWICE ) (You need to ONLY cut 1" out so there is ENOUGHT flat aera for the compression to tighten on )





Then install the ferrules, Manifold then tighten



Thanks to Noplugs ( Rob ) for doing the original DIY
This Is the same as Rob done except I just install the Manifold only
As long as you Feel Confidant in Cutting your Trans Line you will be Fine
There is a small mess with a small amount of trans Fluid leaking out
This is where I got The Manifold

Don’t Forget to Check Your Trans Fluid after this and Fill to Recommended Level

Thanks for doing this DIY for everyone.

 One note to add is don't use teflon tape on the threads because the sensor needs to see a good ground to read correctly. You can use the paste instead.

Also in some cases you have to clamp a wire to the manifold body and run it to ground if you are getting wierd readings.
