Default Dodge B250 89 318 No overdrive - Help sourcing a VSS

Hi

I have been having issues with no OD on my van. It looks like the VSS is likely the issue, I have no cruise control and it is throwing me a code 15 with the key dance. I had a shop take a look at it as before I got the code as I was having trouble diagnosing it. They are also pretty sure the sensor is the issue but they are unable to source a VSS. The shop gave me these details for the replacement part - afterparts manufactured by BWD - S8027

link below

I cant seem to find the oem part number for it and im not sure if there are other aftermarket ones available.

I'm in Canada and have been scouring the high seas of the internet for hours and am unable to source one from anywhere (not available at the link posted) the closest I found was one on amazon.com that wont post up here [img]data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7[/img]

I'm off on a 3k+ road trip in 10 days so really hoping to get my hands on one soon

Any help much appreciated, Cheers Matt

Mine should have OD, it has the button on the dash for OD on/off. Unfortunately off is my only option currently 😆

89 was the first year for OD and it was an option so not everything would have it.
