    The VSS is located on the transmission (auto) so it doesn't look like it would be difficult to replace. Don't know the cost. DTC 72 means that the VSS has an intermittent fault so you get max line pressure and third gear only hence why your car won't accelerate.

    undo the bolt and wiggle it out pretty easy.if the drive is steep and you dont want to strain 1st just reverse in will be nicest on the box in reverse

    yeah thought so.
    its kinda hard, cause my cars facing my garage but its like 30 metres away. the elevation to get there would be like 1 metre. shouldnt do any damage.
