Does anyone know where i can find these two parts?

my check engine light came on and i got 4 codes... two of em i kmow where the problem is but the other two i need some help with.... here are the codes;
1: 05 04 = Automatic Transmission Control Unit Signal to ECU
2: 01 04 = Vehicle Speed Sensor
3: 13 02 = MAP/BARO SW Solenoid/Valve
4: 03 04 = Knock Sensor

# 3, i already went to the stickys and found out what i need to check and the knock sensor is self explanitory... but the first two i have no clue where to find them.... i thought the 'Automatic Transmission Control Unit Signal to ECU' was that lil black thing bolted right in the middle of the tranny and engine (where they meet) bu that lil black thing just have a magnetic tip that monitors the flywheel i guess.....

what i really want to know is where can i find the 'Automatic Transmission Control Unit Signal to ECU' and the 'VSS'...if anyone has pics that would be a great help...

the VSS is in the tranny, if you look down from the throttle body and brake booster area its rigth there.

That little black thing is crank ref sensor. Pull your trans codes with the OD light (search), see what it says, probably concerning VSS.

hey guys, can low tranny fluid cause the first and the second code.... i checked mine today and it was low... it was at the very tip of the stick.... it was barely touching the stick......

last week i was doing a random check under my car and realized that the 10mm bolts that hold the bottom pan of the tranny was a lil loose, i tighen them almost a full spin... fluid was leaking but not drippin down....

i went a head and refilled the tranny, so now all i have to do is wait and see if the CEL comes back...
