A lug is insertable into the hollow coupling component that has a first connection end, and an elongated flexible sensor blade is attached to the lug. The flexible sensor blade is inserted into the gear case and used to measure a fluid level of a fluid in the gear case. The fluid level sensor also has a connector having a second connection end attached to the first connection end and a third connection end. A cover is attached to the frame, and the cover has a fourth connection end inside of an aperture of the cover, and the fourth connection end is attached to the third connection end.
