Transmission won't shift into overdrive, and speedometer doesn't work
The VSS for the CD4E is below the firewall transmission mount- on the transmission. It faces up. Crawl under the vehicle and look around the bottom of the driver's side firewall on the transmission.
The Vehicle Speed Sensor is located at the lower rear of the transaxle.
Thank you for your question,

- Where can I buy a transmission range sensor for a 1999 Ford Contour? I need a new transmission range sensor for my 1999 Ford Contour 2.0L 4cyl automatic but I can't seem to find them anywhere. I really don't want to take it into the shop and pay over $100 for it when I can buy it and replace it myself. If you could please paste links that have it or stores that have that brand please let me know. It would be such a simple fix if I was actually able to find one.
- My 1995 ford contour will start and run but will not move when i put it in gear it is a 5 speed fwd? I realized the other day it had less than a quart of transmission fluid and it was really light colored almost as if it was watered down and i'm wondering would that causze it to not move it will go into gear just won't move
- Where is the bank 1 02 sensor located at? I have a 06 ford focus zx4 2.0L and I got a code the other day and it's for an oxygen sensor bank 1 where is that located at?
- Is it bad to drive with a faulty output shaft speed sensor circuit? My transmission light came on yesterday so I did a code check and got the code P0720 and P0722 meaning the speed sensor is not working properly. Is it harmful to drive the car with it malfunctioning? I drive a manual transmission 2001 ford focus, I haven't noticed any change in the way the car drives or shifts.
