1A Auto is a great company to do business with!
The switch was exactly as pictured. We didn't need the rod but it was easily removed by removing the lock ring. Installation was a breeze. Pricing was on point and delivery was quick. Thanks so much for a seamless transaction.

Does the 2008 ford ranger neutral safety switch cause it not to start?
Yes and no could also be the starter .. to
find out jump the starter at the solenoid
and if it starts its probably the clutch safety
switch .. you could just have a bad starter .

Will this work for a automatic transmission?
The part looks different if it's on an automatic or manual. Look at the part on your transmission and compare to the pictures. If you get the wrong one it won't fit so you will know right away.
