i have a 92 eunos 1.6 auto, i am in the middle of a project to build a new centre console but i have a question when i stripped the auto gear selector down there is a small pin selector attached to the pivot bolt that pushes a piston to an electrical box ,could someone please tell me what it is, as mine is not connected to anything and just sits there.

I'm just guessing, but should there be a readout on the dash to tell you what gear you're in, and if so, does it drive that?

Either that or does it work the other way round and is used to prevent you selecting reverse if you're moving??

Similar to what I guessed, switch for reversing lights?

I will have a look at the reversing lights ,can't believe i did'nt think of that,thanks for your help.

It might be a switch to prevent the starter operating if the car is in gear.
