Oil in, Speed sensor on

It was time to replace the transaxle oil now that I was ready to spin up the completed drivetrain. I grabbed 2 quarts of Mobil 1 synthetic and began the slow process of flowing it into the reservoir. I purchased replacement gaskets from Toyota for both the drain and fill plugs to properly complete the job. I also installed the motor speed sensor today. This little unit is extremely simple to mount and the only real trouble I ran into was to remove a tiny bit of sheet metal from the unibody that interfered with slipping the sensor collar over the commutator shaft. A bit of grinding and things were looking good.
