The speed sensor is located on the rear, left hand side of the engine as you stand in front of the car looking at the motor. When you look at the back of the engine under the exhaust manifold , there is a small heat shield that you can pull off. The heat shield is spring clipped on the back, so you can pull it off without damaging it.
