Vehicle Speed Sensor

[BenBrausen]

Where can I purchase a new vehicle speed sensor for my '93 ATX? I'm gonna be puttin' in a new tranny and figure I might as well replace the VSS while the tranny is out. What's the price and what's the product number?? Thanks for the help. :-D

Napa handles them in there Euchlin line.

Ben,

GOSHO89 is right, but it is Echlin (ek lin). Echlin has been making top quality electronic parts since the days of the Model A Ford. NAPA, and other quality parts stores, carries their brand of parts. rangerj

my ford dealer couldnt find the vss dont know why thinking its called something different to them..but i ordered an intermediate servo for the tranny..it was 42 bucks and i was told that its the same thing..it tells the tranny what gear to be in and everything else

That's not the VSS.

The VSS is the sensor on the output of the transmission that provides output shaft rotational speed (consequently vehicle speed) to the computer.

Should I replace them both??... Can I get some part numbers??

Does it look something like this?

Is This It?????

That would be a vehicle speed sensor.

Is that $17.88 a good price for it from CheckerAuto.com? CarParts.com has two:

Vehicle Speed Sensor, w/Dealer Installed Cruise Control; SHO Listing
Brand: BORG WARNER S8053
$36.18

Speed Sensor, ; SHO SERIES
Brand: STANDARD SC46
$23.48

Why the big diff in price?

My advice is to get the motorcraft one from fordpartsnetwork.com. I got one from Autozone and they gave me one for a GL and now my sho shifts at 2200 rpms all the time. There is a "tranny code" inside the door jam that you should get when ordering it too.

Before you spend the $$$, you should double-check to see if the new tranny already has a new VSS.

What does fordpartsnetwork.com call it? I can find a "Turbine Speed Sensor" listed under the "Automatic Transaxle - Axod, Axod-e, Ax4S" section. But I don't find anything that sounds right under the "ATX" section. Help!
