XJ Neutral safety switch location.

Hello, I need to replace the neutral safety switch on my Jeep. I have the new one and the Chilton's says it's on the transmission but I can't find it. Maybe I have the wrong one... The one I have is a Borg Warner # S9185. It is about 1.75 inches long, has a place for a 3 prong plug on the top of it and installs with a 1" wrench. The only thing I see like it is on the transfer case and it only has 2 prongs. (I suppose that is to turn on the 4X4 dash light.) Any help is appreciated!

It is part of the reverse light switch setup and is really expensive I believe.

Thanks a million for the link to the page Mr. Hughes. What book did that come from? I'd like to have one. Pictures are always good. :) Mr. Romain's comment about it being expensive was right on. $215.00... Maybe the $8.00 the wrong one I got the first time cost will pay the tax. I broke the threaded pieces getting it off the shaft, otherwise I wonder if a guy took it apart and cleaned the contacts how long it would last? I also wonder if the plug off the old one could be rigged by connecting the "B" and "C" terminals together for use as a means to get out of the woods in a pinch. Does the computer know what gear the shifter is in by the other contacts in the switch? I guess if so, that wouldn't work. Any way, thanks again!!
