Is there some sort of switch that mounts on the trans on the driver's side? If so, what is it called and where can I purchase one?

Thanks

Yes, and

Or get a good used one from someone here.

there is also a pin that activates the switch that can wear down and then the switch doesn't work to well.

Thank you so much. I appreciate it.
