Default Putting in tranny off a 85 Stang I think...

My tranny broke again.. for like the sixth time.... a friend of mine had a Tranny laying around in his garage that he said had less than 3000 Miles on, so he gave it to me for $400, I began taking my old tranny out and when I put the old one and new one side by side I relized something different about them. Theres one that has a Sensor input on the top plate and one without.

Can I just swap the two top plates off with no problem?

hmm you probably dont need it for the tranny to do its job but if you can swap it over i would. is that the reverse sensor?

I dont think its the reverse sensor, It looks like it has to do with oil of some sort.

Reason I say that is because it has a little ball bearing in the sensor input.

Its not Mass Air. What do you think it is? You dont I can just trow it in without the sensor in? It does have cruise control but I never use it. What do you think the sensor is or does?
