This part sits on top of the transmission. Look just behind the intake manifold. It is not easy to get to. Suggest you get a transmission shop to handle the work...probably less than $200. If you are trying to do this to correct shift problems, suggest you on wrong trail...try a shift control unit, which is located near the speed sensor. Unless your tachometer and speedometer are acting up, look at the shift control unit. It does seem to go out after 100k.
As general rule speed sensors on cars were always located in the gearbox or automatic transmission. This would be the first place to start, however modern transmissions have the sensors built in and its unlikely they are user changeable.
Where is speed censor on mercury cougar
The speed sensor is located on the back of the transmission, right before you get to the drive shaft you will see it sticking out.
My 1991 Mercury Cougar LS 3.8 4 Speed Automatic weighs in around 3800lbs.
The maximum speed of a 1971 mercury cougar RX-7 automatic 8cyl 285HP is 110 mph or 177.02kph.
Speed sensors are located on the axle
the speed sensors are located on the back side of the rear wheeles.sometimes the abs sensors behind the front rotors are refferd to as speed sensors as well.
A three speed only has one speed sensor. It is located on the case where the right axle shaft comes out. The 4 speed has the two sensors.
The only "sensors" on the transmission are the speed sensor at the top in back, and the range switch on the front.
There can be as many as 6 speed sensors, so which speed sensor are we talking about? There are 4 speed sensors, one at each wheel, if we have antilock brakes. There is a output shaft speed sensor on the output shaft housing of the transmission on the passenger's side of the car, down behind the engine, and there is a turbine speed sensor on the body of the transmission over on the driver's side.
It does not have a govenor. Speed is computer controlled.
are you sure it is not tail shaft sensor. This would be for your speedometer
