Someone broke into my car (I left it open) and took my bentley. I need to know the exact location of the speedo sensor on the bell housing, because I can't see it. Thanks.

That would explain so many things..... And I got the advice that it was on the bell housing from someone off this board...

The speedo (speedometer) is on the differential, SPEED & REFERENCE are on the bellhousing. Motronic uses the latter two to determine engine speed and timing, while the instrument cluster uses the diff sensor for its speedometer input. I guess thats why its important to include as much information as possible when asking Q's, but I didnt see the original post.
