USA Vehicle Speed Sensor on 94 4Runner

I have a '94 4runner V6, 4x4, A/T, had to drive it about 200mi with a failing rear drive shaft.I got this replaced, next day Vehicle Speed Sensor went out.I removed it to find the teeth faulty on the VSS input shaft, I replaced it and it happend again.I assume now that since it turns freely removed it must be the internal gear that turns that. It seems to be ez to get to by removing the drive shaft and a 4 bolt cover. I cant find a schematic and no help at the toyota dealership. CAn anyone help? does anyone have schematics?

Any Public Library in your area would have the Factory service manual,Haynes,Chiltons,Mitchells,Bentley and Toyota repair books.
FSM (factory service manual)can be acquired in several ways:

Toyota Material Distribution Center
750 West Victoria St
Rancho Dominguez/Compton,CA 90220-5538
USA
Ph:1-800-622-2033 (outside CA)(M-F: 7-5 PST)
Ph:1-800-443-7656 (inside CA)
Ph:1-310-818-4630 (in or outside CA)
Speak to Beverly or Deloris

http://www.4crawler.com/4x4/FSM.shtml

1)buy a used one off e-bay
2)some Toyota dealerships may give you one or sell it for $10-20 (used) as most Toyota dealerships don't repair many old Toyotas and no longer need the service manual
3)some public libraries sell their old books as they are not in demand any longer
4)some free buy & sell classified papers,websites and bulletin boards may have some used ones for sale
5)some junk yards may have one laying around
6)some Toyota specialty garages may have one laying around and no longer use it as the vehicle may be too old and those mechanics probably have so much experience that they could publish their own factory service manual with corrections and "real world repair tips"
7)if someone has the FSM maybe they could scan all of the pages and post it on a site for all of us to download or view.

I got my rear drive shaft work done about six month ago and now I am getting VSS error code 42.
Replaced the VSS part but it is still not working.
Can you give me more details on parts used?
