NOTE: these instructions are for a dash that has a mechanical speedometer - typical in the 1986-1995 Taurus/Sables
Yes, I have seen such photos but they are entirely useless. You won't see shiat when you look with your eyes. You have to look with your hands.
This being a 3.8 the upper intake is in the way. Remove the upper intake manifold before you continue.
Follow the speedometer cable from the firewall down past the engine rearward of the engine behind the intake and down to the transaxle (transmission) near where the right hand (passenger side) axle goes in. Eventually your hand (wrapped around the speedometer cable) will be unable to continue as a heat shield gets in the way.
The heat shield is clipped on and you can just pull it off. Behind the heat shield lies the sensor. Unplug the wiring connector (2 wires) then remove one bolt to remove the sensor from the transaxle. Be careful not to kink the speedometer cable while removing the speed sensor. If you kink it your speedometer will bounce until you replace the cable with a new one.
With the sensor out of the transaxle, you can now separate it from the cable for replacement.
