Where the hell is this thing located at? On our chevy with the 4L80e it'd be at the tranny's tail housing, but what about on my auto yota with the 3vze?

TTT - any ideas?

It should be on top the trans. About in the middle... the ABS speed sensor is on the rear diff.

uh oh....

so to change it or to check it requires that I pull the tranny?

ttt - so changing/checking it is going to be a huge PITA?

is this a difficult procedure to do?

WATRD

I have never done it. But, looking at the instructions, I would say no and would allocate about 30 minutes.

WATRD -

Thanks for the procedure on that, I do appreciate it! I guess that makes it easier in that I just need to track down where the speedo cable jumps into the tranny, be it the tail end of it on the TC or the middle top of the tranny....
