I hope this helps. If you have other questions, let me know.

Thank you! This is exactly what I needed. Is the same part number used in both the 2.0/2.5L automatic and manual transmissions?

Welcome back. From what I can tell, the automatics are the same. However, one for a manual transmission will be different.

Let me know if you have other questions.

Take care,
Joe

Well, it sounded easy. Got the air cleaner removed, but cannot find the VSS under it.

It is on the lower rear of the transmission. See if this picture helps you find it.
