That is one of the problems. The standard VSS everyone knows on here is a magnetic sensor driven off of a gear, then goes 90 degrees into the case which is then driven off of another gear.

For this sensor to work there has to be the big round gear inside of the transmission case to spin the vss. The new transmission does not have it installed so using the old VSS is out of the option.

So this isn't a how to replace the sensor and with what part number. It's how can I trick my car into thinking I have the other sensor, if it's even possible, by altering the signal sent or altering the computer for signal received. Otherwise the transmission will have to come out again! And they would pay shipping, they offered. But who's paying labor to have it come out!? I'm expensive!

The last few times I've been at the Ford dealership there have only been crotchity old men working that don't want to be there and have a very, very tough time finding the parts I need, even with my Vin. It's frustrating, and this problem is even more frustrating, especially to explain to someone
who won't understand what I just said.

Thanks for the reply though Wiswind, I was kind of counting on one from ya.
