The wire to my Allison MD 3066_R temperature sensor has split just before female connector attaches to the sensor. I prepared a new similar sized female connector and cleaned up the male end of the sensor. However, the male end of the sensor appears to be broken and will not accept the normal connector. See attached pic. I can not penetrate the Allison Transmission Parts site on line to locate a new sensor. I may call Allison or Foretravel on Monday. Today, I am temped to solder a new wire to the connector or use an alligator clip to attach the wire. What is the best approach?
Thanks

Have tried to squeeze the sides of the female spade connector to get a grip on what is left of the sensor connector?
using a "tooth brush" wire brush polish the hex sides of the sensor looking for temp numbers, it's a standard part to be had at most parts houses.
That sensor in the photo is a Foretravel added 1/8" NPT thread temp sensor that only feeds the dash tranny temp gauge. The wire end connector is a simple common. normal female spade connector. The transmission does not need this sensor to operate. It is just for the operator holding the steering wheel.
This is the temp sensor I have previously mentioned, that we moved from the elbow from the tranny cooler to the elbow going to the tranny cooler. Now our dash gauge can inform us of the actual (hotter) temp of fluid coming from tranny, instead of the hidden dumbed-down temp.
