Locating Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS)

Year of vehicle: 1994
Make of vehicle (Ford/ Chevrolet): Ford
Model of vehicle ( Taurus/ Cavalier): Taurus LX Sedan
Engine size (2.0/ 5.7): 3.8L V6 EFI
Mileage/Kilometer: 206000 miles
Automatic Transmission
I am trying to find the exact location of the VSS on this car. I am a "shade-tree" mechanic and have very limited resources. AutoZone's component locations said: on transmission. Chilton Auto Repair manual said to remove HEGO (oxygen sensor?), Y-tube exhaust pipe, and VSS heat shield on 1992-1995 models implying VSS is on the rear, lower, and central area of the engine. I have rubber-necked and crawled around with a flashlight trying to verify that I can see the VSS before I go disassembling anything. Anything exhaust means rust and tight as hades nuts and possibly breaking stuff. I really want 100% confidence of VSS location before I act. Access to anything on this car requires miniature size and hydraulic strength (haha) but her 206000 miles attests that I like it and shes durable and possibly that I'm cheap. Also would like to know if there are any special considerations when removing and installing the VSS. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
