It's located on the transaxle I believe. On manual transmissions you need to remove the air cleaner assembly, and automatics you need to come in from underneath the car. It's held in place with a retaining bolt.

The vehicle speed sensor is on the transaxle and held by a retaining bolt. On a manual transmission, remove the air cleaner assembly for access. On an automatic, reach the sensor from underneath the car.
