Neutral Safety Switch Location

[pguard]

I have a 1994 C280 and am changing the Neutral Safety switch. I have the center consol out and looking at the shifter but That's as far as Iv'e gotten. I think it located on the right side of the shifter but can't see it. Any help would be great.
Thanks in advance

Thanks for the quick reply. I'll let you know how it goes

Changed out the switch and now the car won't start. I think I didn't line something up. It pops out of Low Gear (2nd) and when I put it in park the key won't come out. I think the car thinks it's in reverse. Is there a certain way the switch should be in when it's installed?
Thanks

The arm on the NSS has a pin that has to line up with the lever hole that the pin fits into...

Then the whole NSS can be turned for final adjustment before tightening the mounting bolts [ oblong holes here to allow for adjustment]

Thanks again for tye help. Went out, removed the switch and lined up the notch like you said and reinstalled it. Car started right up.
Now the only problem is the key won't come out of the ignition when the car is in park and the engine is turned off. Any ideas on that one ?
