speed sensor

Can anybody point me to a website, picture or schematics showing where
the speed sensor of an 86 4runner is located. I just saw the the speed
sensor hanging and obviously not detecting anything.

Speed sensor? I thought that they had cable at that age, would like to know

I believe it is a cable.. And connects to the rear of the transfer case

If you have the cable hanging down the hole its supposed to be in is easy to
find, hold the cable up to the gearbox at the suitable lenth and the hole is
somewhere around there. And look for the missing speedo cable inner as
thats long gone if its been out driving around for a while.

If you have a 4x4, the speed sensor is mounted to the transfer case as near
as practical to the rear driveshaft, if you only have 2WD, the speed sensor
will be mounted to the transmission near the tailshaft.
Generally, the sensor is on the side, and is easy to spot. You said you
found wires hanging down, the sensor will be within reach of the end of the
wires. It might be mounted to the top of the trans or tcase (whichever the
rear driveshaft is connected to), but it will always be collecting data from
the tailshaft of whatever it is mounted to.
