quick question about m/t sensors

[dccse3k]

so for the back up neutral 5th are the sensors interchangeable?

[breadbox]

Meaning? Are they all the same sensor?

[dccse3k]

yeah. also what would happen if i didnt have the spring and checkball that goes in the hole near the shifter of man trans

[breadbox]

No Reverse Sensor? IDK.

[dccse3k]

so are the sensors the same? reason being i can only find the reverse sensor for sale at all auto parts stores.

[dccse3k]

ok the sensors for all but the neutral position are all the same. Even the neutral switch is the same but it has a diff electrical plug you could probably solder to use elsewhere.
and if anyone is doing the 5 seed swap without having these sensors you can plug them up with M14x1.5 bolts that are very short. I used an oil pan bolt from autozone cause it was perfect size and had a little washer to prevent leakage.

as far as that check ball and spring though, anyone know what the bearing size is or what part it is on courtesy parts? Or has anyone used their trans without it?
It is the one at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Onxb8QUNpJg#t=2m35s 2m 35 in this video.
