Ok, finally defeated it.
?
For those who need have the bouncing speedometer in the future, here is what I learned.
?
- Jack up front of van and slide under.
- Once you can see the exhaust manifold, you are far enough back
- On top of the transmission, next to the exhaust pipe, there is a fabric heat shield
- At the bottom of the heat shield is a slit that is snapped together.? Unsnap it and push it up the wire
- There is the VSS.
- Remove the wire bys sliding the top rectangle to the side.? It doesn't lift up as I assumed.? Once you have slid off the plastic lock, the wires unplug easily by lifting up.? The plastic lock is a U shaped lock that clamps the wires onto the sensor
- Unscrew the sensor and screw in the new one
- Attach the wires and push the lock back on
- Pull down the heat shield and snap the bottom
The Bentley was useless for this job.? I don't know how I got lucky and figured out the the lock slides to the side.? Next time I do it, it is a 15 minute job

Finally getting around to replacing the VSS. ?I found it but I can’t figure out how remove the electrical connector. ?

How do you manipulate those 2 wire bails? ? Please let me know the technique

Classic G22 failure.
Assuming you have the 01P automatic, this is the correct part #: 357919149
Available from Mark at germanautoparts.com... Call him... doesn't show if you search for it.
Easily accessed from underneath...
- remove belly pan
- jack up front if you need easier access (or ramps or a hole...)
- on top the right side differential.
- you'll see a heat shield over the wires/connector
- pull connector...
- unscrew sensor...
- reverse instructions to instal new one.
