It is located on the top of the transaxle.
To Remove

1.Unplug the sensor harness connector.
2.Unscrew the retaining bolt and pull the sensor out of the transaxle housing.


To install:

3.Inspect the O-ring on the sensor; replace it if necessary.
4.Install the sensor into the transaxle housing. Be careful the O-ring doesn't dislodge from the sensor.
5.Plug in the connector.


I attached a picture of the sensor. Hope it helps.
