I bought a manual transmission today, and come to find out, it doesnt have the vehicle speed sensor (vss) in it. Can anyone tell me how much these go for used? I know from advance auto parts theyre around 100$

I got one used for like 10 bucks off my local forum.

Go get one out of a junkyard. They're cake to pull out.

If it still has the cluster intact, take the gear out from the trans and have a friend (or some random dude) sit in the driver's seat.

Spin the gear and if the cluster moves you have a working speed sensor!
