[V8] speed sender removal

[Buchholz, Steven]

No BTDT, nor have I heard of any other V8s having this problem ... but how
many V8 5-speeds are there?  I have heard of failures on 200Qs though ...
some people thought it may have been related to having Pentosin dripping on
it for a long period.  It is too bad I didn't poke around back there when I
had the engine out of #2!  I am pretty sure that you don't need to pull the
drive flange to get at the sender ... and I'm pretty sure the thing is a
Hall Effect device.  Have you tested it to see if it is good or bad?  If it
is indeed a Hall Effect device, did you check to see that it is getting
power?
