i got my car back from the trans shop on yesterday and the oil pressure gauge wasnt working. they rebuilt the transmission, are these things related?

The oil pressure sender is pretty close to the tranny and where you have to mount the starter, so its not impossible that they could have knocked the wire off the sender.

yeah, look for the wire, it goes in the area under under the oil filter.

I believe its also either yellow or orange.

thanks guys would this be easy to do or should i gripe at them to fix it?

check it yourself, see if the wire is connected to the sender, do you know what the sender looks like?



Its under the oil filter, its a cylindrical thing sticking out the side of it, it protrudes towards the fender area, and on the end there should be a wire

attatched to it. See if the wire is there and if is if its broken, or just wiggle it back and forth a little if it is connected and see if it works.

ok cool

if you want to bring it by on thursday im off work and can take a look at it. ive even got an extra sensor now if yours is busted

thanks travis for the offer but you know its already fixed bc you fixed it. but everyone i have a new prob now, sometimes when i get on it a little the tach will drop to zero and the engine check light will come on. the car still runs, but no tach. as soon as i turn it off and back on the light goes off and the tach works again. any ideas?

If the check engine light comes on then there's something wrong and you should check the codes, unless the engine is just stalling, which would cause all of the dummy lights to come on.
