It's part of the MLPS (manual lever position sensor). It is on the trans where the shift cable attaches. Top side of trans under air intake tube.

If your talking about the solinoid switch that keeps the car from shifting into gear without the brake depressed, then it's on the shifter mechanism under the consol. You have to remove the consol to replace it. The consol is four screws in the front, and two in the base of the arm rest. It takes about 30 minutes to get it out if you've doen it before abotu an hour if you haven't.

The neutral safety switch is the device that keeps you from starting the engine when the transmission's in gear and is part of the MLPS as Big Jim stated.

Quote from horseydug from similar post last year:
For the atx the back-ups are controlled via the TR (transmission range) sensor which is located in the engine compartment. This device also controls the starter interlock.

The transmission range sensor and the manual lever position switch are two names for the same thing.
