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.....

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.
The VSS (Vehicle Speed Sensor) on a 1998 Chevy Lumina is typically located on the transmission. Specifically, it can be found on the top or side of the transmission case, near the output shaft. You may need to remove a few components for better access, but it usually has an electrical connector attached to it. Always consult the vehicle's service manual for precise location and replacement instructions.
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.
