Neutral safety switch 1965 skylark GS

[Guest Racecar]

Any leads for an automatic console shift neutral safety switch? All I've found are column shift. Mine has a plastic pin that is actuated by the shifter. Don't know the delco #, that could help for a cross-reference.

thanks from Seattle

In many cases, the neutral safety switch is a part of the back-up light switch. In the GM parts books, that's usually how it's listed.

On some console-shift cars, as my '77 Camaro, there is a "backdrive linkage" that runs from the trans shifter to the bottom of the steering column . . . which then turns a tube just as a column shift shifter would. IF the blank area (shifter bowl, or where the column shift lever would be) below the steering wheel turns when you move the console shifter, you have a "backdrive setup". By using the "backdrive linkage", the column shift and console shift items are the same.

Just some thoughts,

The NSS on the GS is very simple.it mounts next to the shifter and has a plastic pin on the slide in the switch that connects the 2 wires for each the neutral safety and the reverse lights.

Thanks for your imput

Does your switch look like this. This is a unit off a 1965 -1967 Chevelle.

Hii commodore,

the connections are the same, mines a floor shift and a pin goes into the side of the shifter which moves it forward and backward.

I posted pictures on the Buick GS club site. If you please, google it then go to bulliten board then resto shop. It's the first posting. Let me know what you think.

thanks,

I know the connections are not right, but does the pin and mounting look right? This is a switch off a 1967 - 1969 Skylark. If the pin and mounting are right you can make an adapter for the connections. The part number is Standard NS-7.

My switch has a round pin that comes out of the side opposite the electrical connections.

thanks for the persistence in helping with the search

The top picture shows the radius slot that the pin used to protrude from and engage into the side of the shifter which would connect the nss and backup lites.

any more leads would be appreciated.

Well, how about this one. It's off an earlier Buick.

This looks like it should fill the bill.

i compared several on eBay from your suggestion and bought one. Once I get it and try it on,I'll report back. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Thanks,Commodore!
