ATX speed sensor, can't find

[1slickRED89]

While replcaing the ATX in the '94 taurus the small speed sensor right by the drivers side axle broke off. all the parts stores, even napa, hand me a MECHANICAL speed sensor and this one appears to be magnetic. any one have a part number or a better description of this parts, like 'ring gear speed sensor' etc. thanks, Corey

Sounds like your talking about the ABS speed sensor. There is one at each wheel. Both fronts are the same(R&L). the stores are likely trying to sell you VSS speed sensor which is located on the transmission. Try asking for an ABS sensor.

The TSS (Transminssion Speed Sensor) is located on the drivers side behind the wheel well. The VSS (Vehicle Speed Sensor) is located on the passenger side behind the engine. The TSS can only be purchased from a dealer or an online shop like www.rockauto.com
