First do you kn ow what your looking for? have you went to a part store or looked online for a vss to see what to look for?

second i will assume you have the LX model so this information will be for a lx, you can post back what you have so i can find a proper one but all three should be very similar.

a 2.4l the sensor is located on the left rear of the engine. diagram below.

3.0l is on the left rear of the engine, see diagram bellow.

those pictures took a while to find.

This vehicle doesnt make a v-8, but that doesnt matter. The vehicle speed sensor is located on the transmission, it has a harness plugged to it
