Yeah def need a better pic, does the motor run? Start it up, does it spill fluid? Does it suck your finger in if you put it over it?

I appreciate it, i was actually looking at that as u were posting it...mine doesnt seem to have the plug on the end its just a hose, ive been going through the manual but i havent found it yet, is there an actual sensor on the end or is it more like a coupling that just gets the hose to fit?

Yeah at the end of the hose it looks like a big needle bearing sort of, just a metal cylinder that plugs into the hole. Check on top of the trans where its supposed to plug in, maybe its in the trans and fell out of the hose? The sensor isn't a "clip on" type, it just plugs into the hole. It's fairly easy to pull out on mine.

Power steering has nothing to do with your speed sensor. It runs from the trans to the back of the cluster. Yes you need it or you wont have a functioning speedometer.
