It’s on the transmission, near the output shaft. [http://www.autozone.com/shopping/repairGuide.htm?pageId=0900c152801f15d9](http://www.autozone.com/shopping/repairGuide.htm?pageId=0900c152801f15d9)

And here’s a picture of that thingee: [http://www.autozone.com/R,1947716/vehicleId,2576104/initialAction,partProductDetail/store,1140/partType,00430/shopping/partProductDetail.htm](http://www.autozone.com/R,1947716/vehicleId,2576104/initialAction,partProductDetail/store,1140/partType,00430/shopping/partProductDetail.htm)  
It’s interesting that Ford calls it an “output shaft speed sensor”.
