Default Vehicle speed sensor on an A6

Does anyone know if the location of the vehicle speed sensor is in the same place on an A6 as on the manual trans cars?

Not sure this is what you're after but:

Manual transmission C6s use a reluctor wheel in the differential to measure speed. Since that counts axle revolutions and not transmission output shaft revolutions, it doesn't need to be recalibrated when you change the final drive ratio.
OTOH, auto tranny C6s measure the transmission output shaft revolutions and do need to be recalibrated when you change the final drive ratio.
