Replacing speed sensor. Where does it go?

S2G-Unit · 23 May 2017

Having some issues with TCS. Wanted to test what some people said works fine even though it's a cheap part.
I bought this:

Have checked here & the manual. Don't see where this is supposed to installed.

Where does it go?

IIRC, I think there's even a better one with a picture of where it is but I can't find it. I think the advice was to try to access it from below but that didn't work for me. I got at it from driver's side but there's lots of stuff in the way which will tear up your arm if you're not careful.

This goes into the assy on top of the trans, just to the rear of the serial number on the clutch housing. But.....for the early years this sensor has a pigtail wire that connects about 8" from the actual sensor. The one in the pic is for a newer model, 1993 up.

It is not clear to me what year the car is....

Here is a link to show you the sensor for a 1991/1992:

Notice the wire on the sensor vs. the plug end on top of the one you have in the picture.

FYI, just read a thread from long ago and it was stated that the non-pigtail part will work if you move the wire

"Approximately" how long should it take me?

There is one bolt holding the entire assy to the trans. I typically remove that, then bring the assy to the bench to change the sensor. Maybe an hour or less....
