Its on the nearside high up on the gearbox. Reverse light switch is also there. From memory its the black connector. The box needs to be dropped a little to get the switch out

As above really, drop the rear of the box a little and go over the top of the gearbox on the nearside and you'll find it. Can confirm it is the black connector you are looking for

Can this sensor be linked out to give ecu signal that it's always in gear?

Thanks for the info.
Ive got this niggling missfire after changing gear(not always tho)
Seems a little sluggish and feels like its on the verge of missing until it gets nearer boosting.
Have been told it could poss be the sensor but then maybe not.
Just thought i would change as matter of course.
Process of elimination.
