The sensor is internal. It requires removal of the side cover on the transmission. If I recall, the engine / trans needs lowered. Do me a favor, (it has been a long time since I dealt with one of these) see if you can remove the side pan from the transmission. If you can without lowering everything, it will be easy. If not, then you basically need to darn near remove the trans. If you look at pic 3, it shows where behind the pan the sensor is located.
