I'd really like to start doing some of my own work on my Subaru (99 Outback Legacy wagon), but I haven't had as much luck figuring things out on this car as I did on my old Nissan pickup. Any local groups or patient subaru owners in the "greater" Longmont Colorado area who could give me a push or two in the right direction?

My speedometer has a habit of occasionally dropping to 0 or not even registering speed at all. I've been told my 99 Legacy Outback wagon has an electronic sensor that is bad/dirty. I had a headlight with a dirty contact that the dealer looked at 3 times before I finally pulled it out and cleaned it myself (works beautifully now). The problem is I'm not entirely sure where the speedometer sensor is on this car. On the passenger side of the transmission I found a plug and tried to clean it, but is the sensor attached there and how does it remove? Is there a good manual/CD that helps identify things on the car? Anyone here know exactly where I should look or a good way to really clean the sensor? Thanks In Advance
