Here is the deal, I uninstalled a Speed Cal because I am getting a tuner. I can't for the life of me find the factory plug that goes back into it. The only plugs I can find is the black one that was plugged into the Speed Cal and the rear o2 plugs. Am I missing something???? I do not see where any wires have been cut or anything. I figured the black plug that the speed cal hooked to just plugged into the sensor......crap!
Where is the plug for the tranny speed sensor on a 98 Cobra?

fyi, tuner wont fix your speedo in a sn95. We dont have an electrical vss sensor
We do have an electronic VSS (Vehicle Speed Sensor) sensor in our cars. It has a gear driven 8 tooth reluctor wheel magnetic sensor that is designed to produce 8000 pulses per mile. If you significantly change tire size and/or axle ratio, you need to change gears on the VSS sensor or use a Speedcal to get it back close to 8000 pulses per mile.
99 and up cars have an OSS (Output Shaft Sensor). It has a 12 tooth reluctor wheel directly on the tailshaft. The PCM then calculates the vehicle speed based on the OSS signal frequency and the tire revs per mile, axle ratio and number of holes (teeth) in the reluctor wheel (with the last three values being programmed into the tune).
This is what the two sensors look like:
Here is where the VSS is located:

yes the tuner will have nothing to do with your gears. so if you have a gear swap leave the speedcal. its only 99 up cars that you don't need a speedcal with gears since it can be changed in their tune. 98 and older cannot change calibration for gears in the pcm-requiring a speedcal or speedo gear change
This is all a moot point, since you still need the Speedcal. But FYI, In order to take the Speedcal out, you need to de-pin the VSS connector from the Speedcal wire. Then you de-pin the Speedcal supplied connector off the factory harness. Then you repin the stock VSS connector back onto the factory harness.
Sorry about misunderstanding your question.
