Have you performed any recent work to the car? How is the tranny fluid level? Is there an O/D (over drive off) button?

Fixitmr, could you help me to replace my VSS on my 1998 merc sable.? I understand it is on the transmission, but where? I believe the wiring from the VSS runs up to the PCM under the dash? Also a friend had said to remove the passanger side tire to help gain access. thanks much greasymike
