I am in the middle of putting in a B&M Star Shifter. I have to relocate the Nuetral Saftey Switch and the Back-up light switch to the new shifter. Basically, I plan on keeping the old switches in and just extend the wires to the Star Shifter. Is this the right idea? I have a C4 Auto on the colum. The important questions are: 1) Where is the Nuetral Safety Switch so I can get the wire from there? 2) Where is the Back-up light switch so I can get the wire from there? Am I doing this the right way? Thanks in advance.
The neutral safety switch and the reverse light switch is at the bottom of the steering column on a column shifted car, if your lucky you may be able to find one that was for a floor shifted car, those are mounted on the transmission.
Dave the Start Shifter came with switches. So I am good there. You say both are on the colum. Inside the car? Near the firewall?
And see that red wire?? If you cut it your car won't start!! Good place for a hidden kill switch to be wired to.
Was that a floor shift column that you used? The floor shift column is still connected to the shift linkage on the transmission with a arm that moves the collar to the start or neutral position. I have one and it doesn't have the switch mounted on the column, like you say, it it mounted to the transmission. I could be wrong, and it's good to know if I am.
My early built (10/71) 1972 automatic floor shift car has a transmission mounted switch. The wires from the switch run up the firewall, thru a hole in the firewall, and plug in under the steering column where the column mounted switch would have been.
I've been wondering about the same thing. Mine is a fact. manual floorshift and I would like to wire the back-up lights to my t5, so I need to look for the same lower column mounted switch as well?
you can also order a transmission mounted Neutral switch for a 72-73 Mustang w/ C6 transmission, and it is correct for Mavericks to the best of my knowledge
