Below you will find the process to not only locate the solenoid but replace it as well. You need to remove the valve body to do this so that is included as well.

Please let us know if you need other info. Thanks

Diagram is for automatic transmission overdrive sensor. I'm looking for Overspeed switch/sensor on manual transmission. Looking for Overspeed Switch/Sensor, not overdrive sensor.

The switch is the sensor.
