The CTSv VSS is actually on the RHS of the tailhousing, not the LHS like the Fbody units.

Its located on the drivers side of the trans, (f body) single bolt holding it in. I messed mine up one time installing a torque arm, somehow got in a bind on it and bent it, it didnt look broke at all, but my speedo wasnt working. Got a new one and fixed the problem

The VSS is back on the tailhousing (by driveshaft). The front sensor with the wires is the Reverse/Backup sensor.
