What is this?
I'm in the process of swaping in a new transmission. This was bolted to the slave cylinder and was plugged into the harness. I didn't see it and the wire pulled out. What is it and what does it do?

I thought it did something to help the thing that its attached to do its job correctly. Maybe I'm wrong though.



Sorry I couldn't help.

Although, on mine, its bolted though one of the bellhousing bolts, not the slave cylinder.

It is a capacitor for the oil pressure gauge. It evens out the signal going to the gauge and prevents the gauge from being harmed if the sensor or wiring goes bad.

Lol, so maybe that was my problem.

We accidently dented my sending unit when we put the motor in. Gauge pegged out until it broke internally. When I was installing my Autometer sending unit, I noticed that we forgot to ground the capacitor (it was just hanging there but the starter).

Whoops!!

Ok thanks for the help. The wire broke flush with the capasitor so I soldered a peice of solid wire to it and the plug to the solid wire. I hope it works otherwise i'll be taking a trip to mazad tomorrow.
