Gear Identification Switch 23-14-2-229-113

[VOM99]

Hey folks,
Dan here. Joined up as I'm doing an SMG to manual swap on my E46 M3. Well I say 'I' - my mechanic is doing the work. Joined the forum specifically for advice and issue resolution. Top priority is parts availability. It looks like the Gear Identification Switch 23-14-2-229-113 is either on long term backorder or may even be discontinued. I'm looking for advice on where I might be able to find one- new or used. I'll post specifically in the E46 forum.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Dan

They are starting to come off of back order now - I would place an order and wait it out - or possible look at a recycling yard for a manual m3 to pillage
