I have a 89 ctd with an auto 727 4x4 and i was looking to see where my transmission is leaking from and i found a single wire hangin down with a rubber L boot on it. Any ideas?

I just followed this wire up into the plug that is right behind the turbo. It is the bigest wire of the 4. The other 3 are connected to the transmission.

The only wires going down to the trans area. Should be a 12volt feed wire for the netural saftey and backup lights. That should be three of the wires. The 4X4 indicator wire should be the 4th wire. Your truck uses a speedo cable so it doesn't have anything for a VSS.
The only other L ended sensor wire I can think of is the temp sending unit up by the upper raditor hose.

does anybody else have this wire? The transmission had to be pulled once for a new flexplate but that was all that was done. This wire is driving me nuts. This wire feeds up into the plug that has 4 wires and it is by the turbo.

I think you are on the right track. If the wire in question is black then it is for the manual getrag. The br/yl wire completes the circuit for neutral start and the white and vt/bk are the backup light circuit. Ill try to find what the black wire does on the getrag unless someone chimes in.
