Do I need a new Tiptronic shifter and/or Neutral Safety Switch ?

[joshcar]

So I just bought a new used car (2003 Protege), it's my first and when I bought it I know I had several things to deal with. One problem is that sometimes the car won't start in Park, but it will start in Neutral. The other problem is sometimes the shifter gets stuck, usually from park, it takes a few wiggles to get it to move. The previous owner removed the plastic covering in hopes of solving the problem which obviously didn't work.

If someone could tell me where I may find a Neutral Safety Switch.

And would I be able to find a tiptronic shifter in better condition at a scrap yard?
Btw I live in Canada.

Pictures coming soon

I don't know the answer to your question but if you post the question in the regular forum instead of doing transmission specific, more people will see it. Sometimes going into the specific sub forum hurts your chances of your thread being seen. In a perfect world this wouldn't be the case and everything would be sorted nicely. Good luck!
