'69 console gearshift unit/NSS/backup switch

[ConfusedMuchOfTheTime]

Good {}.localdaypart(). Mine is morning so good morning. I need to source all the gearshift unit parts from the gearshift knob/reverse button through to the swivel assembly inclusive for my '69 Dart. I have the transmission control lever. I've researched this a bit and given I have the NSS on the 904 trans I do NOT require a gearshift unit with the NSS bolted to the gearshift unit housing as per earlier years (pre-'69). This being the case, can I select say a '67 or '68 gearshift unit with the NSS bolted to the side with the violet and white wires (one of each) and simply remove the switch/discard and bolt the gearshift unit to the trans tunnel bracket and job done ?

Is communication between the transmission control lever and the NSS inside the 904 via the switch operating cam ?

Thank you in advance everyone.

NSS is always on the trans. The reverse light switch is on the shifter 68 and earlier years

The shifter is the same. In 68 and later it has the 2 bolt holes for the reverse lamp switch and does not have the switch on it. Three wires are routed 2 the switch on the later transmissions. One brown wire in center is NSS. The other two wires are reverse lamp.

Thanks guys. Confirms my knowledge (such as it is) and observations. Appreciate your input.
