Hey guys, so I have a 96 Tacoma 4x4 and the check engine light is on, and it's throwing the speed sensor code. So I tried to find one but they are all electric, does anyone know where I could find a mechanical one? Thanks

First thing I would do is jack one wheel up and have someone spin it while you check if the gear is being turned. Then spin the end of the speedo cable and see if speedometer moves at all.
