Default VSS location on 1996 Accord? can't find it!!!

I still can't find the VSS (vehicle speed sensor) on my 1996 Accord 5 speed.
I see a screw-in kind of thing with two wires coming out on top of the thing, the wire is yellow and black, is this the VSS? I thought the VSS is bigger with a plug?

:wtf:

If you look straight down below the throttle body you will see a 2 wire harness going to a sensor that is bolted down with one 10mm bolt. That would be your VSS.

thanks! from my understanding though, you can remove the vss completely and pour your tranny fluid through the hole it left.

yes, you can pour tranny fluid once the vss speedo gear is removed from under the sensor like in my last picture. i usually just poor through the reverse light hole (manual).
