the Vss unscrews from the speedo gear pinion carrier....you DO NOT have to pull the carrier to remove it...the pinion floats on a cast in boss inside the trans...pull out the carrier and chances are the carrier will come out and leave the pinion behind then it's 10 to 1 that it will fall down inside the trans....lost unless you split the trans to get it!!! NOT smart....
