VSS location

Hi,

The vehicle speed sensor is located near the starter motor. I attached a pic for you.

Here are the directions for replacement. Pic 2 correlates with the directions.

Hello, I'm Danny.

Here is the information you requested.The VSS is mounted on the trans-axle next to the starter motor CV axle. I've attached a picture below of its location.Hope this helps and thanks for using 2CarPros.

So I should be able to see it from above correct?

It may be blocked to see from the top by the transmission housing. Let us know if you have other questions.

So I should locate it through the bottom?

I feel dumb right now, because i'm having such a problem finding it... I have watched videos, Googled pics....

That is what I would suggest. Note that it will be tight if you don't have it lifted. Keep in mind, the starter is on the left hand side rear of the engine, so the sensor is likely not visable from the top.
