1995, Replace Oil Temperature Sender ??
I have a 95, LT1, 6 speed. I need to replace the oil temperature sender since the top (connector)
is broken off. How in the world do you get to the sender to get a wrench on it. I cant hardly get my hand and a mirror up there.

You might make a trip to a dealer, and ask to talk to a tech/service mgr.
for instructions, or ask for a quote.
The location of the oil temp sender (in the base of the oil filter housing)
makes it extremely difficult to replace.
I have read posts that quote $600 to replace oil temp sender.

Did mine on the 88 this weekend, not a fun job. I believe the later cars are basically the same piece with a different electrical connector.
3/4" ratcheting wrench, no mirror, just feel for it. Its way easier if you have a lift or can get the car well up in the air to get some leverage and be able to see it.
