Looks like the right part. https://www.autozone.com/engine-management/vehicle-transmission-speed-sensor
It should be mounted where the pic has it.

Yeah I’m sure it is. I’m just not very bright when it comes to cars. I can do a few things but this picture just doesn’t do it for me. Does anyone have a real picture to help me identify exactly where this is??

The pic shows just the transmission, not how it's oriented in the car. Looks like you might have to get underneath it.
This guy gets into a Fiesta transmission. Maybe this will help you spot where it is.

I looked. It’s not there. I can’t find the sensor. I looked where it should be. It’s not there. I’ve been under my car for 2 hours looking for it. It’s not here. Is it possible this sensor Is just for the automatic trans. THIS page doesn’t show this sensor for a manual.
Is it possible that the wheel sensor could be bad? I just had one replaced a few days ago.

You got me there. Is it a different part? This is what they show for the manual. https://www.fordpartsgiant.com/oem-...ubmodel=&extra1=&extra2=&filter=(29708;15466)
Does it have ABS?

Yes my car has abs.

Figured. ABS wasn't mandatory until 2013, so it's possible some earlier models might not have it, though most already did. It says "less anti-lock braking system" in the description, which makes me think it's specifically for cars without ABS, but maybe not.
At any rate, there have to be some sensors wired to the tranny. They may just not be what they look like.

Ok got that. I do have abs light. Also I see that sensor you replied with. Where would that one be. I’ve seen something somewhere that it could be on top of the transmission.

I can't find anything online about it.

i found the post. take a look

Doesn't look like the sensor I showed. Doesn't show where it goes, either. Looks like it comes from the engine side. Just look for anything wired to the tranny. There can't be much.
