Speed Sensor Location

Hey Guy,

I've been searching and searching but I just cant find out the location of the Transmission Speed sensor, It would be the one that controls your speedo and Transmission pressure? Is it located on top of the rear differential?

any help would be very helpful Thanks in advance.

That is the location of the VSS [vehicle speed sensor] generally on all vehicles
Controls the speedometer not shure on the tranny temps.
However the 6.0 plays by it's own rules. It may be in the tranny tail stock. I really don't remember for shure now that you ask and I think about it a little.

For more then the last decade the use of the sensor on the rear differential has taken that speedometer role.

The vehicle speed sensor feeds the speedo. As stated above it is on the rear differential.

There are three speed sensors on the transmission. There is a turbine speed sensor (TSS) located on top of the trans near the front of the trans. There is an intermediate shaft speed (ISS) sensor located on top of the trans in the middle. There is also an output speed sensor (OSS) located on top of the trans at the rear of the trans. All of them are used to control shifting. None of them control transmission pressure.
