Kia Sephia Sensor Problem

Where is the Transmission Range Sensor located on this car and where could I possibly buy one to replace it?

Obviously, theres some miles on it, but I actually hit a rock and it busted my pipe on the bottom of the car... Which PROBABLY either heated the sensor up and melted it, or maybe it just went out. Any answers would be appreciated. (Yes, there is such thing as a Transmission Range Sensor)

haha thanks very much for the help. I wasn't trying to be a smartass or anything, everyone that i've seen that asks about the TR sensor has people saying they dont know what it is. Thanks for the advice! How much do you think one will cost me?

WOW. Really?! For a Ford they're like 36 - 40 on Ebay. Wow. Maybe a junkyard would have a used one cheaper. I'll have to look into it.
