So I've found that neither of these switches are hooked up in my car. I looked under the car and nothing is hooked up because all the connectors are completely different. Based on my research so far, it looks like the previous owner swapped in a later model transmission in my '92I have two switches on the drivers side of the transmission like this:

On the harness there were two female bullet connectors which based on research seems to be for the back up light switch which I cut off. Those connectors can be seen at the top of this older trans

These are the connectors I have - i chopped off the two female bullet connectors and was going to splice them into one of the switches but I figured I would ask before. They are the two wires electrical taped on the right, then I only have one single wire coming out with a white connector at the furthest - am I missing a wire for the neutral safety switch? If switches need replacing are they the same switch for both?
