    Its on your transmission, look below your brake master cylinder. You will have to remove the nut on your manual lever shaft, then remove the two hold down bolts in order to remove it. The Tribute is a re badged Ford Escape, so you should be able to purchase the part there. There is a hole in the MLP/ Range sensor for a locating pin to help you install it in the right position. Make sure your trans is in neutral when you use the locating pin to align the mlp. Good luck
