99 f250 5.4 range sensor

I need to get a range sensor for my f250. I assume that is what it is called. It is on the side of the trans and it has a large plug that goes into it. Where can I get one??? I have searched online and I even plugged in my vin number to the ford motorcraft site and I cannot find one!

Almost any parts store would have it. It's call the Transmission Range Sensor (TRS.)

When I looked it up at Official Ford Parts Site | Buy Motorcraft & OEM Ford Parts Online | FordParts.com they call it an Auto Trans Gear Position Sensor.

Part Name: Auto Trans Gear Position Sensor

Part Number: 7F293
Part Description: Automatic Transmission - 4R100

Many parts stores' database will call it the "Neutral Safety Switch" or something similar.

Do you have the nut in the center removed? If that nut is off, and both bolts removed, it's just stuck.

there does not appear to be a nut on it. Im not sure how to explain what it looks like but it has like a slot that sticks out that you could get a crescent wrench on but I dont think it comes off??

The nut holds the lever that attaches the shift cable. Once the lever and two bolts are out just pull it off.
