Our auto was giving trouble, and based on what an auto trans specialist said I decided to replace it. Finally the swap is almost finished, but I have an issue with the rev sensor. I can't use our original rev sensor because the new housing is cast slightly differently, and our old one wont fit.

The cable to the rev sensor has a wound coax type layer and three strands inside, two insulated, and one bare. Does anyone know if I can just cut the old wires and join them to the new ones? or is the cable calibrated to a certain length/resistance, or something complex like that?

Thanks.
