Drivers side on top of the bell housing that bolts to the engine. At least I think it's what I need, speedo stopped working, and last time when I replaced this it fixed the problem.

The speed and reference sensors mounted on the bell housing are inputs to the DME/ECU, which are used to determine engine RPM, spark timing and fuel injection metering. The speedometer is driven by the speed sensor mounted on the trans axel which Dimitri_944 has available. The speedometer issue could be this sensor the connectors/wiring from the trans axel to the instrument cluster or the speedometer.

THIS...but before you buy a replacement make sure that it's not simply a loose connection. Common problem.

It sucks to be lucky (it was just the connection on the tranny speed sensor) and feel stupid at the same time for not figuring it out on your own in the first place.

Thanks for all the help guys.
