Before I put the back exhaust manifold back on, I folded a pie pan around some fiberglass insulation, and mashed it overtop of a brand new Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS). Then I put the 1,2,3 exhaust manifold back on. I drove the van for 15K mi with no problems. Now I've got a P0500 code, and the van doesn't seem to know when to shift anymore. The VSS is easy to replace (1 bolt, 1 wire clip) but only when that 1,2,3 manifold is off. I am looking for a "slick" way to replace that puppy, without having to pull the rear Exhaust-pipe.

We're in the same boat. We both have 95's with high miles. Mine has just about 190,000 on it.
That speed sensor is a bugger to get at without removing something. I tried to replace it on my 93 Taurus with a 3.8. I didn't get it replaced. I put it in my Windstar when I did the headgasket job. It wasn't bad but I had things apart, it was sitting on the shelf.
I know I'm not giving you any good news here. I hope you are able to get it replaced.
