O2 connector

**dogman1955** · 05-30-2018, 08:03 AM

I need help figuring out how to access the bank 1 number 2 (rear) oxygen sensor connector on my wife's 1999 Z-28 LS1 I got the other 3 sensors off but the bank 1 rear sensor wiring plug is un-reachable as it is stuffed along the top of the tranny.
Any help would be treasured.
Thanks

Get a floor jack and lower the transmission a little. It shouldn't be up there BTW, it should be along the side of the transmission.

Actually it is along the top side but I can not reach it from underneath the car, is there an access panel under the consul shifter area on automatic tranny?

no. If it was a manual you would have a larger hole that the shifter comes thru. Auto's only have an opening big enough for the shift cable to go thru.

I might be able to get to it if I disconnect the shift cable .Gonna try it.

I do not recall any issues accessing our O2 connectors. Is the connector attached to bracket on that side?

Yes it was , I finally ended up getting my neighbor who has smaller hands to disconnect it and then connect the new one, his hands are just a little smaller than mine. The car is done and runs like a top , the only reason I did not eliminate these #2 sensors is I have to deal with strict emissions inspections every 2 years and do not want to leave my wife more problems to deal with when i'm gone.

Cheers,
