Is this the only speed sensor? I ask because I have a check engine light and it said I have a vehicle speed sensor malfunction code P0500. Is this the sensor I need or is there another one ?

This is not the speed sensor you need. This is the Turbine Speed Sensor, it tells the computer what the ATX output shaft speed is, IIRC. You are looking for the Vehicle Speed Sensor, which is not located in nearly as easy to reach a location

Easiest mod ever. Took me 5 min max once the car was jacked up.The factory one pulled right out with my fingers and the new one went it with my hand as well. No extra tools needed. Also the difference in driving is noticable, easy clean shifts and no more letting go of the gas and WAAM! The ATX is all good now.

I bought the new sensor and decided to try this tonight. Turned the wheel all the way to the left and it looks like it can certainly be done without jacking the car up and taking the wheel off. But, for some reason I couldn't get the retaining bolt off -- I used a crapload of WD40 on it and still nothing. I pretty much stripped it down trying

anybody else have an issue with getting this bolt off?

I still can't get that bolt to budge and its officially stripped... even used a drill and this extractor thingy -- haven't drilled into the bolt yet (dont really want to) any suggestions? the thing wont move!

My sensor itself is so corroded that it will not budge! I had a garage spray some anti-corrosion stuff on it that they have...hope that will help. Any suggestions before I attempt to pull it out again?
