its on the top of the transmission on the passenger side rear of the engine compartment
you should be able to see it if you open the hood of the car and stand by your right front (passenger side) wheel. then looking across the engine you'll see a black air intake bellows (hose) about 3" in diameter. look towards that hose to where it bends at about a 70 degree angle rearward then look straight down from that bend. you should see the connector for the vehicle speed sensor.
You check engine light should be on. Goto Autozone and have them pull the codes for free. Post the codes here, that might help. Heck, just last week I thought my tranny was going bad. It was shifting hard and would not shift past 2nd gear (30 mph was the fastest I could go). But my posting the codes here, one of which input/turbine input speed sensor error. A tech told me it was a sensor on the tranmission. I dont usually replace random parts either ( I learned my lesson a long time ago, but everyone insisted it was that sensor). Since that sensor was only 16.99, I decided to try it. voila, car runs perfect now. So I went to thin king I had a 3k transmission job down to a 17.00 part, pretty sweet deal. So post your codes in here, might give a real mechanic a heads up and be able to help you better.
