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.
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.
It is located on the transaxle.

Blower motor speed resistors are generally located close to the blower motor.
The 1999 Chevrolet Suburban speed sensor is located on the back of the transmission. The speed sensor will be in the upper left-hand corner.

The speedometer is driven by the vehicle speed sensor. See "Related Questions" below for more about where to find it, and how to replace one.
The most likely problem with the heater blower on your 2003 Sable is the blower resister. The resister can go bad and cause you to only have one speed.
The speed sensor on a 2008 Mercury Sable is typically located on the transmission. Specifically, it can be found on the side of the transmission housing, near the output shaft. To access it, you may need to raise the vehicle and remove any obstructions, such as the air intake duct or other components, for better visibility and access. Always consult the vehicle's service manual for precise location and replacement instructions.
Sounds like you have a bad Vehicle Speed Sensor.
No , it has a 4 speed automatic transmission ( transaxle ) It doesn't have a continuously variable transmission ( CVT )
A speed sensor on a 1998 Mercury Tracer is located on the transmission housing of the vehicle. It is placed on top in a secure location to safely measure the speed the transaxle spins.
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.
On a 2002 Mercury Sable, sensors are located in various key areas including the engine compartment, where you'll find the coolant temperature sensor and mass airflow sensor. The vehicle also has oxygen sensors located in the exhaust system, both upstream and downstream of the catalytic converter. Additionally, other sensors like the wheel speed sensors are situated at each wheel for the anti-lock braking system. Other sensors may include those for the airbag system and the transmission.

Overdrive is the normally allowed position . It won't shift into overdrive until the speed is higher anyway , such as on the highway / freeway
