iB5 Gearbox sensor
Anyone know what this sensor in the side of an iB5 gearbox is for? I have another iB5 in my car and it doesn't have it, just a normal reverse switch like an rs turbo box.
I assume its something to do with the reverse light but theres 4 wires coming out and how the hell do you remove it? I cant split the box with it on and dont really want to bust it off!

hi there, did you manage to get this sensor out after?? Ive got one to change on the better halfs friends car, as its leaking on the mating face to the gearbox, i ASSUMED it was just undo the 2 torx screws, and wiggle out????

I removed the sensor off, just need to gently wiggle and pull the sensor off, it has a little snap retaining spring on it, so ...just pull it off.
Tried the blue hylomar, had it all blue'd up, still leaks, so a new sensor is needed

It only operates when reverse is selected though, its like a ball+socket joint, when reverse is selected, the selector moves to operate the switch, otherwise its does sweet f.a
