In a Subaru, the speed sensor is typically located on the transmission, often near the output shaft. For most models, you can find it on the driver's side, mounted on the transmission housing. If you're working on a specific model, it's best to consult the owner's manual or a repair guide for exact location details.

To replace the speed sensor on a 1996 Subaru Outback, first, ensure the vehicle is safely elevated and secure.

I got one for $35 from a Subaru graveyard, but I've been quoted for up to $200. Napa was the only car parts place that even had a way to get it, and they're the ones who told me it would be $200. Try the Subaru dealer first, or try to find a used Subaru in a junkyard that you could get it from.
