UltraShift PLUS Clutch Housing Speed Sensor
The sensor retaining clip must be removed and discarded when replacing the clutch
housing speed sensor on early production UltraShift PLUS models. A clearance issue
between the new retaining clip and clutch housing prevents the sensor from being fully
seated, resulting in repeat speed sensor fault codes. The hex drive cap screw
(0.250"-20x 0.625") with washer must be reused when the retaining clip is removed .
