Are you talking about part #13627639278?

If so, it's #8 (for auto transmission)

Typically, crankshaft sensor is mounted on the bell housing [with one small bolt] and can be replaced without having to remove transmission. The only difficult part is the lack of space around there. I don't have V8, so I don't know how much space is there.
