    That is the MLPS or manual lever position sensor, I have also heard it called a PNP park neutral position switch and a neutral safety switch.

    I sent one to mean05 for shipping only. Took a month for UPS to deliver it 89 miles. I refunded him (even if he doesn't know). Maybe he has it still and will ship? It's called a PRNDL switch or more precisely a gear position switch.

    the wise thing to do on those is to just remove it from the transmission, don't bother unplugging it. Unbolt the shifter arm and slide if off after removing the two bolts that hold it onto the transmission.

    Yep. If you unplug it you have to heat the plug up with a lighter and melt the adhesive. Easier just to take the two hex (or is it torx?) head bolts out.
