Your car being a front wheel drive vehicle, I'm not sure it would have an output shaft speed sensor because the output of the transaxle is transmitted to the wheels by the CV axle and joint. A transmission output shaft is usually found on rear wheel drive vehicles, and it connects to a drive shaft which connects to the differential. But your vehicle likely has some kind of speed sensor to run the speedometer, cruise control and ABS. It's probably near one of the CV joints.
