I have a 1997 cavalier z24 2.4L twin cam with 160,000 miles. My speedometer is late and only catching my desired speed late. It is not a smooth transition in the speed that is being shown it is choppy. I was lead to believe that is could be my speed sensor. If this is the problem where is it located and how do i change it?

speed sensor is located on your transmission left side
