One thing I found is the importance of not damaging the downpipe donut seating flare by the studs sticking out
Willl cause the fuel trim or mixture to bias on the rich side
If you have to order the switch there is a throw dimension before the switch makes , this is sometimes hard to find but has a huge effect on adjustment
Some people have put in the reverse functioning switch equivalent , normal open vs. normal close
I was at the salvage yard today looking right at a opened up X300 shift box and the " Not in Park " switch with a short pigtail and connector
I'm sure it works as the car was driving up to the point it got beat up by a 2 trucks in front and back
I'll put a meter on it like I should have while looking at it . That way you will know if it's normal open or normal close if you were to order a new one and you can see the throw length which is how much the red button depresses and not the metal arm to actuate it
I need to go back to the salvage yard again for some other stuff
PM me your mailing address
I have the spare FOB for you to try and know if you have a compatible one in hand .
