Default vss location?

Im new to C5s, coming from LS1 powered RX7s and I am curious where the C5 picks up the VSS?

Is it the sensor in the diff, or is it on the tranny?

I just put 3.90s in my car last night, and it seems that the speedo is still accurate. Am I wrong that the computer picks up VSS from the diff, and I dont need a speedo correction?

It is located in the diff and picks up from teeth outer edge on the ring gear. The sensor is located in the top, rear, right side of the diff. Here is a drawing of a M6, the A4 should be very close.
