Default Sheared a sensor

I've been in the process of replacing my clutch and doing a generally bad job of taking things off I shouldn't be, and I broke a sensor on the side of the block. After looking at the manual I think it's the knock sensor.

I mostly wanted to make sure before I ordered a new one, seeing as they're listed on Majestic Honda at $129.96.

Can't see the image you posted. I remember breaking my knock sensor when I changed my intake manifold. Cost me around $170 at the stealership since I needed it asap.

That is quite common and the sensor is very brittle, it has a greenish cap on it. I can't see the image you posted but it is on the driver side of the block near the starter and the only sensor with a green cap.

Why did you take off the intake manifold to replace the clutch?

Originally I was going to replace the manifold and throttle body with a larger ones but I'm going to be moving soon I don't have the money to get them yet. It was a poorly executed idea on my part.

Don't feel bad, that sensor breaks if you sneeze on it.

Oh ok gotcha, you were just curious. Yeah they are very fragile.

Ballade sports has them for far, far less $$ than the dealer.
