speed sensor and speedometer

so i just got a 1997 CL 2.2 manual and I'm a little perplexed. Before i bought the car, it was serviced for an ABS light and the invoice I was given said there were two speed sensors replaced. I thought this car only had one speed sensor and the additional sensors weren't introduced until V2. Does anyone know the truth. They said they replaced both the left and right rear but i swear this car only has one.

Also, I think my speedometer may be off, probably because they put in the wrong sensor or something. When I'm in 5th gear at 3000 RPM it says I'm going 72 MPH. Does that sound right to you guys? It sure doesn't seem like I'm going that fast. Any help would be appreciated because I have to take it back ASAP f they fucked it up.

Mine's an Auto, but when I'm at 3k rpm I'm going 80. I don't know about the manual.

Many factors affect the speedo, tire size, air pressure in the tires, etc...check that
