I think you are kinda effed with that one. The switch does come apart so you might be able to grab a switch from a junk yard and change the internals without going through the connector hassle. It is really odd that it broke there, I don't think I have ever heard of that particular failure.

lol the rod that comes out of the trans with the threads broke. Do i just tack it with a weld or JB weld it this is not a fancy 850. The post is still there to do the PNP but i cannot bolt cable on

Fixed problem with arrow. duh forgot to plug throttle body sensor in. The square rod that comes out of the transmission with the threads on the top broke off but there was enough meat to get shift cable bracket on and I JB welded it

Hopefully the latest fix is the answer to the issue at last. Know how frustrating it can be when chasing ghosts!
