Any vendors on Yarisworld sell Auto Transmission pans? - Toyota Yaris Forums

Well I asked because I ran over a tire (thank god it didn't have a rim on it) and it tore off the black plastic cover underneath the engine and it put a big dent in the trans pan, it started to leak a bit.

I bought the pan and the gasket, it was about $85 and then the trans fluid was near $8 a quart :( Turns out that the tire hit so hard that it crushed the trans filter flat like a pancake. So thankfully I was able to find a filter from a local parts store for $30, compared to Toyota dealer's $80 rape price.

One thing I'm curious about ,what is the little sensor that is down near the black mesh of the grill on the front bumper? It looks like it clips right behind the black mesh, is it a temperature sensor?
