This is an automatic trans right? It should be on the side of the trans and the shift rod should go through it. I have never really looked at an automatic 240 so I could be wrong, but that is where it normally is.

Manual trannies don't have park/neutral switches, they have a neutral safety switch and a clutch pedal switch. Was the car converted to a manual trans from an auto trans? Are you running an a/t ecu to eliminate the speed limiter? That's what it sounds like to me.

I bought the car as a manual. I don't think the car was converted to manual because the previouse onwer didn't mention anything about it being an auto. Is the switch important? CAn I just reset my light? O yeah the check engine has two codes, both was the P1706 Park/Neutral Position Switch.

It doesn't have an effect on the way your car runs but your light will stay on and even if you reset it, it will go back on the next time you start your car.
