2G VSS Source?

[gst_redline]

My speedometer doesn't work which i'm sure is the vss so i took it to a mechanic. He told me its the vehicle speed sensor he made calls but couldn't find one. Does anyone have an idea where i can get one for a 1998 gst 5spd? Because i heard automatic and stick vss are totally different?

Auto zone has them!

Vehicle Speed Sensor | AutoZone.com

So does ExtremePSI:

I would also suggest not letting him work on your car if my 2 min search found three places and he does this stuff everyday!
Plus it should be an easy fix for you to do, so save your money!!

Alright thanks man I appreciate it because i had asked the mechanic if i could find it at autozone and he said no. So yeah i dont really know much that's why i didn't want to mess with it. It looks like you just pull it out? but i really do want to start learning to fix my stuff and usually what helps out is going online

Heres where its located on you tranny:
(this is actually for an AWD but it will be an the same general area)

You must be logged in to view this image or video.

It is bolted down with, I believe, a 10mm bolt. Unbolt it, and carefully give it a nice tug! But Be carefully, you don't want to break the sensor off in the tranny, that would be a no no! :/

Or if I were you I would invest in a service manual for you car, even just the haynes one from autozone would help you alot since you want to learn how to to the work yourself!
