That would take a major redesign. The speed sensor needs to be located where it can get a reading off the speed sensor tone ring, mounted inside the t/case.

I have heard that the low fluid in the TC is a problem if you are out wheelin in 4Lo, not as much for normal use?

Green sticker was used to notify the dealer that the vehicle was shipped from the plant with the correct amount of fluid. 06 vehicles without the green sticker needed fluid added by the dealer. Most techs will have no idea what the green sticker knows now.

They need to read the manual for the correct procedure, unless they do a lot of these.

It is correct. If the vehicle is never off-roaded, there is a good chance the shift forks will not receive any damage.

i would guess that low juice could be a problem for rotating parts,anywhere,any time.

i would think that the plastic forks broke mainly because they were plastic.
