Getting the Wheeling Fever
I need to replace the A/T temp sensor, and I was wondering where one could be obtained at the best price? Is this a stealership only part? Additionally, are there any concerns or tricks to replacing this? Thanks!

You could just ground the wire, because the "sensor" is just a normally closed temp switch that opens and breaks the od switch ground circuit when the engine heat gets above the trip limit. Nothing special on the removal or install, except use thread sealer and don't take the tapered threads too tight.
