anyone know what the sensor is called in the back/bottom of the transmission next to the shift linkage ? i know one is the neutral position switch. which i believe is in the front of the trans. i need the rear one. wire burnt to a toast rubbing against my exhaust. rockauto only shows the NPS. not the other one.
Exact same thing happened to me. That's why I need a harness. I shorted to ground on that sensor.
damn lol. i mean i dont think i need a harness. but def that sensor. just cant seem to find it. last place i wanna go to is the dealership. and even then i dont know if theyll even know what that sensor is haha.
Auto Zone has it. I ordered mine from them when I thought that was the only problem. It was like $60
so after pretending to be busy at work. i think i may have finally found the right switch with the correct connector.
there's a no.1 switch and no.2 switch both of which i know used the same sensor but different connectors. so im assuming you need the no.2 connector as well ? since thats the one i burnt and need replaced

JA4351 is the number you need.
sweet lol. but did u just look it up as a part# until you found it or looking under a different model?.
nevermind lol firgure it out
I believe at the time I just cross referenced the OEM number through a suppliers website. I always look up my own parts. I was a manager for Advance and O'Reillys before getting into the service side of the industry, and let me tell you, there is usually one or two good parts store employees at a store and they're usually only there from 7-5. After that, you're SoL.
New shifter bushings and 3rd link kit feel great but didn't resolve my 3rd gear issue. It still pops out of gear in 3rd when you are hard on the throttle. I can get it to fully engage the gear sometimes but I have to hold the shifter in place or it will push into neutral. I don't know what to do now short of pulling the trans.
That's what I'm guessing, I don't know what else it could be. It doesn't easily go into gear without the clutch pressed in so the synchros do work but it feels like the shifter doesn't fully engage 3rd. It could also be a bent shift fork. It will go into 3rd fully and not pop out but half the time when you hold it in third it will still kick out of gear when I floor it. If it stays like this it will likely break soon, I'm wondering if I have a tooth missing or something causing the engagement issue. I will try to put some new trans fluid maybe something thicker like lucas for the hell of it, current gear oil in it is not old but it is just the stuff from the barrel we sold at Mazda (golden west).
I get an annoying rattle from my shift knob when I'm in gear. How hard are those bushings to replace?
I have stock shifter. Sweet. I'll add that to my list of things to dohonestly u can do the bronze oil shifter bushings in 30 minutes. the bronze-oil bushings WILL NOT fit a TWM short shifter just an fyi.
