The vehicle speed sensor for your speedometer is on your transmission for 2 wheel drive, and on your transfer case for the 4 wheel drive. If it is on a AWD (All Wheel Drive) there is no source that I can find to give this location.
I have a 99 ranger 4x4 you might be surprised that you dont have a vss ! Instead look on your rear axel . its your abs sensor, or also called, rear speed sensor!
Replace it.......its one bolt on the side of the transmission.....

transfercase right side tail
The VSS (Vehicle Speed Sensor) is usually found on the tail end of the transmission.
The vehicle speed sensor is on the top of the rear axle not the trans.
I believe starting on the 1996 Explorer , it went to an electronic speedometer with a vehicle speed sensor ( VSS ) so it doesn't have a conventional speedometer cable
The vehicle speed sensor is mounted on the transmission, but on 2000 and later models the VSS is combined with the rear axle sensor located on top of the differential. The powertrain control module uses the sensor input signal for several different engine and transmission control functions. The VSS signal also drives the speedometer on the instrument panel.
No
the VSS is right on top of the Transmission with a plug on top of the VSS
The VSS is for 1997 and older Rangers. 1998 and newer Rangers are not equipped with a VSS type system. The vehicle speed information comes from the antilock brake system rear wheel speed sensor according to the Haynes repair manual.
The speed sensor is located in the bottom front of the engine, it looks like a small distributor. the vSS Vehicle Speed Sensor is located next to the oil filter
