Question HELP PLEASE - Maverick Speed Sensor needed!

Hi, I'm new to this so I hope I've got it right.
I have a 2003 Ford Maverick XLT 1989cc which I adore BUT I need a replacement gear box speed sensor.
Ford main dealer can not help me because although they can identify the part on their database they no longer make or supply them!
I have been in touch with Ford UK head office and they can't help either, also I have explored salvage companies online with no success.
My Maverick may be 15 years old but it is so reliable (apart from the speed sensor problem) and I am so fond of it that it would be such a shame if I had to get rid of it for the sake of finding such a small but essential part to keep it running reliably.
I wonder if anyone could help me please? Does anyone know where I could get one from or if any other vehicle has one that might do the job in my Maverick?
Thank you for reading my post

Hey terranosaurusdoug, I've just looked it up and the Mazda B2000 is a pick up truck, my Maverick is a saloon type 4x4.........would it maybe be the Mazda Tribute?
(The Tribute looks the same body shape as my Maverick)

Ah right gotcha, not 100% on that one. I find it hard to believe Ford don't still have any though, I bet they used the same box in loads of stuff. If you have any numbers off the box type them eBay, works for me

I don't think Ford are interested in helping me with my old/obsolete vehicle to be honest!!!!
I'll have a closer look at the gearbox and also try Mazda and Nissan in the morning, thank you for your help
