When I removed my motor and tranny a few months ago there was one plug on the wiring harness that just wouldn't come out. It was on the side of the transmission in the shifting mechanism but i didn't know why the damn thing would come out. We used little screw drivers and tugged and tugged and ended up cracking this plastic piece. So it was fucked up and i was pissed but now when i started the reinstall i'm gonna have to replace this piece. What exactly is it called? And why in the hell is that plug glued in there? How do you usually remove them? Does anybody have a used one of these laying around that they would sell me?

 

thats a park/neutral safety switch located on the side of tranny. i think their around $100.00 give or take.

 

Yeah those are a PITA. I managed to get it unplugged the first time I removed my tranny. I just took the entire unit off the last times I pulled the tranny.

 

lol....ha,ha,ha.....thats a Park Neutral Switch....

 

Give Chuck a call on Monday to either order the part or to get the part number. 1-630-350-7776

 

mine did the same thing in the same place. the part was like 79.00 i think.
Really that one will work fine, you can still plug it in even if you remove that broken piece, you didnt damage the pins itself.

I wouldnt worry about it!

 

Already found a new one on ebay for $48, from factory. That little thing is a bastard though!
