VSS Vehicle Speed Sensor Replacement.. How to??

Tranny is acting up and got a code for the Speed Sensor. I bought one but I have no clue how to install it. I've searched online and found this http://picasaweb.google.com/cefiro.c...09622461329938 But that part doesn't look anything like mine.

This is how my VSS looks like

Does anyone know how to replace it? Is it an easy job?

Thank you, I got to the sensor through my service manual and what not. And I unbolted the Hold down bolt. And it says to unclamp the clamp but there is no clamp holding it. It just feels stuck.. I guess I have to pry it out THanks for the help

Where are you seeing this 'clamp' information?

theres no other clamp on my 5mt, just the bolt. you can see the o-ring in the pic near the bolt hole the sensor is held in there pretty good. just remove the bolt and give it a good yank and the sensor will pop out.

Yeah, it's pretty difficult to get out just because of the angle. Just pulling/wedging a screwdriver in there did it for me.
