Jack,

It would be helpful for you to look at a trans form a 5ktq or 200Q, but not
absolutely necessary.

Basically, you need to machine a "U" shaped hole in the bell housing of the
transmission so that the speed sensor will fit in.  The U portion will line
up with the cutout in the engine for the sensors.  From my recall a 3/4"
hole is about right, but just needs to be big enough for the sensor to fit
in without interferance.

I'd suggest mating up the trans with the engine and see where the cut(s)
need to be made and mark with a marker.  Then separate the trans again so
you can make the cut without damaging anything.

You can probably most easily drill the hole 3/4 or 7/8" I forget.  Then cut
two notches to intersect the hole. You will be left with a "U" shaped
cutout.  The sender assembly bolts to the engine and there are no other
holes to tap or drill.

I had to do this in situ with a reamer since I had already installed the
engine and trans.  It would have been much easier to do when apart and out
of the car.

When you notched the trans could you be more elaborate in the
description?
