Nuetral switch help

You need to understand the neutral safety switch is and always was on the transmission.
A separate switch is used for reverse lamps. Its' original home was on the steering column. adding a console shifter requires adding wire to relocate that switch with the shifter move.
To make production simpler the reverse lamp switch was put on the trans so its plug and play no matter where the shifter is. Rather than redesign the trans case for another switch they redesigned one internal part and the neutral safety switch so the reverse lamp switch could share that location.
