What is the name of the sensor above my drivers side axel on my 98 ford windstar mounted into the transmission

Your speed sensor is located on top of the transmission near the axel on the right side. There should be a round cover with the sensor mounted into the side, either a cable or small wire connector attached.

The speed sensor is mounted to either the side or the top of the transmission in the place where the old speedo cable style would go.

hi the speed sensor will be located above the drive shaft on the driver side on a right hand drive , it goes into the differential on the gearbox .

I'd be looking at removing IAC valve, and cleaning it out with throttle body spray cleaner, and checking mounting gasket as well. Usually some success with cleaning it & spray ports it came out of, but if not you may need to replace it.

Normally the Part on the transmission is a female connector and the part you got out is from the cable. just replace the cable. However, this connector on the transmission should be replaceable as well but will require a Transmission technician to do it.

It is mounted on the transmission. Hope this helps and best wishes.

i think the vechile speed sensor on is located on the bottom left side of your transmission

Hi,

On Top of the Transmission. You can see the Black sensor just under the Air Breather Intake assembly in front of the driver side. It has an electrical wire connection and is bolted onto the tranny with (2)5/16" hex head bolts and (1)1/2" nut that holds the throttle arm to the sensor. Very easy to replace.

Thanks.

your transmission oil pan is at the bottom of the trans, the heat shield you are looking to remove is on the right side of the vehicle above where the axle goes into the trans unit. You should find the sensor mounted there with one bolt and one wire plug, hope this is helpful, let me know

There are three transmissions available in different year Windstars.95-00 had an AX4S model,depending on engine,or possibly an AX4N model.From 01-03,the 4F50N,just a later version of the AX4N was introduced.There are many variations of speed sensors depending on the year model,and engine size,and trans that was equipped at the factory.They are all located on the transaxle.The AX4S has two speed sensors,one located above the final drive assembly,mounted atop the transaxle case,in between the back side of the engine block,and the firewall of the car body.Later versions of the AX4S also carried another speed sensor in the same area,but back closer to the bellhousing,and deleted the one i just described a few sentences back.,Both versions of the AX4S carry a second speed sensor in the channel plate,mounted externally,on the driver side,near the sidecover/pan.Now onto the AX4N trans.This trans also carries a speed sensor in the channel plate,and a second one locatated atop the trans case,behind the rear of the engine block,in between the engine and firewall.The 4F50N also uses the same speed sensor arrangement as the AX4N model.Good luck.
