[R129 SL] speedometer sensor

[Jan Kuylaars]

It is on the driver side of the vehicle , at the end of the gearbox, but it
is hidden.
So look how far the wires can go, there should be the hidden hole.
In the gearbox there is on the drive axe a wheel with teethes, and the
inductive sensor is a mm from that inside wheel mounted, so it counts the
teeth on the wheel every time Your axe is turned around. So they can
calculated your speed.
