1992 Lumina Speed Sensor

My speedometer is not working and my cruise went out at the same time. I spoke to a guy that works on trans and he said that it was the speed sensor. I have another car for parts but I don't know exactly what to look for. If someone could email me some pictures or expain exactly where the sensor is I could change it myself.

that year the Lumina came with three transmissions. A 3-speed, and two 4 speeds. They all take different a different VSS, but all three are located near where the passenger axle shaft goes into the trans. The way to identify the 2 different 4-speeds is to look for a vacuum modulator. One is electronic and would not have one, the other is vacuum and uses a modulator for shifting. IF your two cars have the same trans, then you can scavenge it from yorur parts car.

Thanks so much for your answer. It will help me locate the piece that needs changing and hopefully everything will be okay so that I do not have to buy the part.
