Where is the transmission output speed sensor located on a 1996 dodge caravan with 3 liter engine and a 3 speed transmission?

What is the sensor on the rear of the trans by the passenger side output shaft?

Its a VSS (Vehicle Speed Sensor). Chrysler refers to it as a “Distance Sensor”. Its gear driven. Are you trying to find one because they use 4 different ones.
