The sensor is probably on the transmission bellhousing. Not sure though. A service manual would help though.

im hoping your car is still under warranty? if so I'd take it in .. that sounds bad, but could be something very minor.

did you try resetting the ecu?

i would be under warranty...if i had the tranny flushed right now im at 58k and never flushed the tranny...but cause i never had any extra cash. i use to have a ****ty job now i have a good job and im cathing up. but anyway....the tranny isnt in safe mode anymore everything is all cool cept the damn CEL. i got it cxhecked and it showed just a outputspeed sensor was bad. and my speed-o is ****ed up anyway. cause i took it apart but now its even worse so im guessing that causing the problem. i just wonder where it is
