There are two speed sensors on the car. The output speed sensor is located on the transmission near the middle of the car. To get to it, the car must be lifted, either by jacks or a hydraulic lift at an auto shop. The sensor is basically under the center console of the car.
The best way for removal is to wiggle the sensor while pulling upwards. This speed sensor is known to break during removal, if it does it will have to be drilled out to remove the broken piece.
The P0500 code indicates a malfunction in the vehicle speed sensor circuit, while the P0720 code refers to a problem with the output speed sensor. On a 2000 Mercedes-Benz ML320, the vehicle speed sensor is typically located on the transmission, and the output speed sensor is found on the transmission housing as well. For parts, the vehicle speed sensor is often part number A0005402017, and the output speed sensor is typically A0005401617, though it's best to verify with a parts supplier for your specific vehicle.
Auto Parts Warehouse is a great place to buy a good quality speed sensor at a reasonable price. You will find their website at http://www.autopartswarehouse.com/models/toyota~tacoma_pick_up~makemodel.html
If you have the 3-speed transmission, it is likely that the speed sensor can make it difficult to shift but in my experience, if you hold down the accelerator it can force the transmission to shift up. Of course this is dangerous and probably causes premature wear on the transmission, but I had no choice back when I had speed sensor problems. The best option is to replace the speed sensor as soon as possible if of course that is the problem, which will set off a trouble code in the PCM. If there is no speed sensor trouble code then you may have a problem with your transmission altogether and may need to have it looked at by a transmission shop.
The Vehicle Speed Sensor on the 1996 Mercury Villager is located on the back of the transmission (as you look at the vehicle from the front) on top of the transmission with a pair of wires leading away from it... best to reach it from under the vehicle.
A bouncing speedometer needle could be caused by a loose or damaged speed sensor cable, a faulty speed sensor or a problem with the instrument cluster. It is best to have a mechanic diagnose and repair the issue.
The 1993 model year typically uses an electronic speed sensor rather than a mechanical speedo cable. This electronic speed sensor is responsible for sending speed information to the vehicle's computer and the speedometer. However, the exact setup can vary depending on the specific model and its features, so it's always best to consult the vehicle’s service manual for precise details.

best website help for this is at http://www.wjjeeps.com/speed_sensors.htm. I am doing the same thing. You will need to figure out if you have a 42RE tranny or a 45 RFE tranny. Best way will be to get under the car and look to see if you have an imput and output sensor or just the output. Good luck. best website help for this is at http://www.wjjeeps.com/speed_sensors.htm.

it is on the transmission..best way to get to it is to remove pass side front wheel, remove motor mount. on top of trans is a round piece with 3 bolts and a plug. the speed sensor is there
The best way to find this out is with the users manual. You can use the diagram that is there to figure out the engine.
