Don't quote me as I am just taking mine to the shop tomorrow for the same thing, but I read it is on the very back of the engine, drivers side, follow the wires. The article also suggested to use good lighting as it may be hard to see

I've posted pics in the past, but yest, it's where the engine meets the tranny on the drives side at about 10 o'clock position if the flywheel is a clock. I't just one small bolt, unplug sensor, remove bolt, pull the sensor out, put new one in, tighen bolt, re-connect sensor, reset any OBD2 codes.

Stealership charges to me = $110 for diagnostic to tell me that was the problem which I told them I thought it was when I went in.

Then $495 to replace the sensor

So over $600 in charges. I should have done it myself.

The good thing I guess is they found some cracked bushings and my rear seals had a slight leak
