SOURCE: Greetings, I have a 2001

Unfortunately there are several things that code could mean. Unless you still have the number code, it's hard to say. What is not hard to say is that, Ford should have caught that and addressed it in the immediate repair. Sounds like they got all the easy stuff in hopes that you would come back and spend more money. If there is a "check engine" light on, there is an issue and should be checked out and repaired. My first call would be to the Service manager of the dealer and kindly explain the issue that the technician MISSED. If he can't do anything, talk to the General manager. Let me know if you need anything else.

It should be on the back of the transmission near where the driveshaft goes in. Buy a new one, jack up your truck and look for the old one on the back of the transmission

SOURCE: Location of Speed Sensor 1998 Ford Explorer XLT

If it has RWAL only, the sensor is in the rear end. If it is ABS brakes, there are speed sensors on the front wheels as well. If there is in fact a speed sensor in the tranny, it is most likely internal.

    How do you replace a speed sensor in a 1998 town and country?

    Well it would be good to have the actual trouble code or codes to advise you.
    If the speed sensor in the transmission failed, the speedometer would not work, and the sensor would have nothing to do with the shift indicator.
