speed sensor problem. Options

[Malhar95]

some might know im looking for a speed sensor for a 5s automatic,

untill i find one, i guess ill try to fix it.


heres the problem:
like many 'clips' under the hood, the speed sensor is no different. u push in the wire until u here the 'click'. the problem is that the plastic peace from the sensor broke during the swap and/or removal. so there is no click when i push it in.


heres another one of my crappy paint descriptions.







is there any other way for me to make that wire stay connected to the sensor? or will i need to buy a completely new sensor.


everytime i connect it, it works fine untill a bump or when i hit high(er) RPMs then it comes loose and i have to squeeze my hand under there and try to make a better conection.




and some real pictures but its REALLY hard to see what im talking about.

in this picture the blue circle is the part broken, really hard to see.



and in this picture, THIS blue is the clip that grips on to the sensor, the part where this blue connects to is broken.

put some silicone gasket maker around the outside edge of the sensor, and squish it on. it should hold well, but be easily removed
