Does anyone know where i might find a Spend sensor for an 88 Camaro 5.0L V8? Apparently autozone discontinued the part from its catalog

Re: 88 Camaro Speedsensor

Its the one that mounts on the transmission and controls the shifts and gas consumption, here's a link to the exact part at autozone but it's discontinued http://m.autozone.com/autozone-mobil...Speed%20sensor

Has nothing to do with the shifts , in the trans it only controls the convertor lockup function
If you have shifting problem , the VSS is not the cause

Have you checked the purple / yellow wires back to the VSS to confirm they are good and that the VSS itself is faulty ?
