Hello, this will be towards the bottom on the transmission housing. It will be a straight forward repair to replace, I will include instructions and a picture below.

Turn the ignition switch Off and disconnect the battery negative (-) cable.
Remove the air cleaner assembly (Refer to "Intake And Exhaust System" in EM group).
Disconnect the crankshaft position sensor connector (A).
Remove the installation bolt (B), and then vertically remove the sensor from the transaxle housing.

Let us know how it goes,
William
