The vehicle speed sensor (VSS) sits atop the transmission and should be visible and accessible.

 

from under the hood or do i need to get underneith?

 

From under the hood

 

oh well **** ill go look then, i didnt think you could see it that easily

 

i know this is really sad, but i honestly dont know where im even looking

 

On my 97 Civic, the battery is near the firewall on the passenger side under the hood. Stand near the battery and face the engine. Look past the battery and downward toward the transmission. The VSS sticks up from the top of the transmission and has a wire harness attached to it.

 

ok gotcha

 

i guess im retarded... only thing i saw said HONDA P2T 12V MITSUBA

 

ok im pretty sure i found it, but i cant see it its pretty blocked off

 

You would need to remove the VSS to see whether the manufacturer name is printed on it. I believe this involves removal of the electrical connector and one bolt. You then carefully lift it out of the transmission. Don't let any debris fall into the hole to the transmission.
