Replacing Speed Sensor

Replacing Speed Sensor
I have a '99 For Ranger.
2WD - 3.0L - V6 - Automatic Trans
Yesterday I was driving - it slipped from 3rd to 1st and my speedometer stopped working.
If I manually put it in 2nd gear, it goes just fine, but automatic will not change gears at all.
This coupled with the speedometer not working makes me think it's the speed-sensor.
I looked on the back of my tranny, and I do not see what I'm used to seeing (havent looked at one in a while). At the rear on the left side of the vehicle I see what looks like a large wiring harness (looks like the kind on the back of a car stereo) is this what I remove to change the speed sensor? or is it in another spot?
Any explanation as to where it is on the trans would be appreciated, I plan on changing it out tonight and I don't want to fumble and mess something up.
Thanks again!
