Neutral safety switch, and wiring for it

Yeah, I need the switch, and the bit of wiring and connector for a T5.

This is the switch in the top of the tranny...NOT the clutch switch ;)

No junkyards around here open anymore, or I'd go lookin'.
Thanks! :D

you need a neutral safty switch for a t5?
only thing i remember attached to my t5 was the reverse light with related wiring, and the speedo cable.
if you needed one from an auto wouldnt you need one for the right trans(aod,c5,ect.)

Yeah, there's 2 different connectors, the back up light switch is on the side, then there's the VSS, but the nss is almost up on the top, near the bell, coming out at an angle on the driver's side of the trans. It's a T5 only part, as far as I know. I have an AOD piece I compared it with...no match :hick:

I don't think the neutral safety switch has anything to do with the trans or it's specific harness.

It "should" be under the dash by the clutch pedal assembly. There should be 2 harness connectors/ends tucked up under there somewhere not connected to anything. They should have jumpers plugged into them. Again, this is how it was with my '00GT but im pretty sure the foxes are the same or similar. One of those connectors goes to the "clutch in" switch on the pedal assy. and the other one just gets the jumper removed so the NSS actually works.
