Abstract
A self-retaining transmission sensor includes a sensor housing having a retaining ring extending radially from the sensor housing. When the self-retaining transmission sensor is inserted in a bore in a transmission housing having a diameter slightly smaller than the diameter of the retaining ring, the outer edge of the retaining ring engages the inner wall of the bore and holds the self-retaining transmission sensor firmly in place. Thus, the need for a mounting bracket, a mounting bolt, or a similar device is eliminated.
