1999 Chrysler T&C Output Speed Sensor

Hi,

Output speed sensor on my 1999 Chrysler Town & Country
minivan failed. I'm thinking of replacing this part
myself.
Can anybody recommend what would be the best place to
buy it? Is NAPA auto-parts store a good idea?

Thanks,
IP.

I don't think you'll find that speed sensor at NAPA, your local
Chrysler/Jeep/Dodge dealership should have plenty in stock
though...

But they will probably want to install it themselves and charge me
accordingly. - Many people advised me against going to the dealer
with this.
Will they just sell it to me and then I'll just replace it myself?

Also there are probably places on-line where these things could be
ordered. Do you know of any?

Thanks,

NAPA has them about 25.00 if it is the 4 speed auto, 60 for the 3 speed
auto.

Of course they will! The parts department is where you go if you want to
buy parts. You tell them what you want -- they give it to you with an
invoice -- you pay the invoice -- you leave.

The service department, on the other hand, is where you go if you want
them to fix your van. You tell them what's wrong -- you leave the keys and
the van -- they call you and tell you it's not done yet and is gonna cost
a zillion bucks -- they call you and tell you it's not done and is gonna
cost two zillion bucks -- you go pay the two zillion and pick up the van,
and find it's not fixed and/or there are new problems.

The two departments aren't the same at all.

You described the service department quite accurately!
So far my experience with them was so frustrating, that I
almost wanted to learn auto repairs myself. - With their
prices it will most likely pay off to do it yourself or
to find a decent shop, not the dealer where it could be
done for reasonable price.
