Yes it’s located on the transmission.

You could listen to it or watch it with the right equipment but it’s 99% certain it’s the problem if they used the proper method to get a code 24.

When you see fog or “running” lights on in good weather beware. WLow performance driver ahead.

How bout those nitwits too scared to drive without headlights in the daytime and the nitwits that need headlights for a little rain

The VSS might not be included as part of the rebuild depending on the shop.

However it’s not expensive, and it attaches to the outside of the tranny.

Just tell the tranny shop you need a new VSS.

Yes it is.

There’s only one bolt that has to be removed.

That’s consistent with a bad VSS.
