He got the PRNDL selector switch that sits on the tranny somewhere, which apparently also has the neutral safety switch in it from what we read. I thought that neutral switch was in the shifter console though.

It's an easy install. It's under the throttle body. It was easiest for me to get at it by removing my thrasher cai.

this was helpful for me:

Make sure you keep the arm in neutral, or put it back in neutral if you move it.

edit: it does take a bit of weird arm positioning, scraped knuckles etc. But otherwise, it's not so bad.

Ya, I knew where it was. I heard that you have to get one that has the same serial number on it or it wont work.
