Location of Vehicle Speed Sensor
I have a 1998 Chevrolet Corvette 5.7 engine, C5.
I'm trying to figure out where the (VSS) Vehicle Speed Sensor is located. I'm aware that it is suppose to be located on the differential, but I have combed the area completely, and I'm still at a loss.
Need help!
Thanks, John Legg

If I could locate the sensor, I can work with it.
I know my wire codes and colors, just need the location of the senor on the vehicle itself.
Thanks

Look at some of the pics in the link below. It appears the VSS is located on the top of the differential.

It's on the top passenger side. Good chance you can't see it, but you can get your hand in there to feel it. There's a 10mm bolt holding it in.
I pulled the wires out of the plug the 1st time I dropped the drivetrain. Made the pigtail a little longer and no issues since.

The pictures and codes for the PCM was exactly what I was needing.
You are the only one out of so many that has placed me exactly where I need to be. You are a life saver and are most definitely a real Vette man.
Can't thank you enough!
Please let me know if I can help you anytime.

Sorry for the resurrection, but this thread helped me gain the confidence to just go for it myself on the VSS replacement. There were no DIY videos so I made one, here's a link for anyone who wants to watch.
