Is this the transmission speed sensor and is it easy to pull out?

I need to pull mine out and replace what I assume is the O-ring seal. It's leaking at a fairly good rate.

Do you think I can pull it out without the puller tool listed in the shop manual?

Try to wiggle it out, if it comes out then you don’t need the tool...

Thank you for your input. I really appreciate it. Do you think I can pull that sensor out without the tool?

I'm sure you can try.. I don't wanna tell you wrong. I bet its possible but a pain.

I never looked in the shop manual so am not aware of the "tool" to remove the speed sensor. I just assumed a pair of pliers or a channel lock would do the job.

Search Precision Transmissions channel on YouTube. They have many detailed breakdowns of the 4l60e and I dont believe I've ever seen him use a special tool.

Only tools required are channel locks, flat head screwdriver, hammer and a long socket. If you can't twist it out with the channel locks then get after it with the screw driver and hammer.
One more thing before you reinstall the new one clean the area and put some lube on the O-ring. You may also need a socket to drive the sensor all the way in. Just gently tap it in until it stops. When you go for a test drive if it makes a weird sound you don't have it knocked in all the way.

Thank you. Will be doing this job soon and posting the video on the channel. It seems straightforward enough, but just want to make sure.
