I found it!! Thanks everyone. The mistake I made was, I was looking for a wiring harness coming out of the tranny's side. What I found was a black box with no wires coming out of it and 3 wires dangling loose. That's right, the wires had been ripped out of the VSS. So, I will be working on replacing that. This would explain why my speedo doesn't work.
If any of you have any recommendations on replacing the VSS, please let me know.
Thanks a lot!!!
