ON my 96 Sable the VSS (Variable Speed Sensor) also known by OSS (according the the book I bought at Autozone) was located on the top of the transaxle near the driver's side front wheel. Standing beside the car's front left wheel and looking over into the car the sensor will be located on the top, backside of the transaxle and below the shifter location sensor. The easiest way to explain this is that is't located just below all the other stuff on the top of the transaxle but right on top of the transaxle. Just has one small bolt beside the connector toward the front of the car that held it in place. Hard to get to. Had to partially loosen from the top of the car and complete using a long 1/4 extension from beneath the car near the wheel. Note: The sensor on ours looked NOTHING like the one in the book. It wasn't in Autozone's or Oreilly's computer or the Wells picture book as of this entry. We were able to crossreference the part number on the sensor itself to a OEM part number OEM Brand Ford SS10697. (the part number on the sensor was F1DP 7M101 AA). Still looking for the part at the moment. The one in the book was long and black with a round white thingy in the end of it. This was a mechanical type. Our was a magnetic type which basically looked like a place to attach a connector on the transaxle wall. The wiring connector was a two sided clip that plugged into the sensor connector which faced the rear of the car. To sum up.. the sensor inserts into the transaxle straight from the left side of the housing and toward the center of the engine. The sensor Connector faces the rear of the car.

Why would your 1991 Mercury Sable jerk sometimes when you start to accelerate?
I have driven Sables for years and have found if you are moving at a slow speed, maybe decelerating, and begin to accelerate, sometimes the transmission downshifts with a very noticeable jerk and a thud sound. I put 200k miles on a '96 Sable with this happening and never had a problem requiring attention.
