Hey my 3rd gear switch is apparently not working in my trans.

I ordered a new one, but what I need to know is when I get the pan off which switch is the 3rd gear one??

Also is there anything else I should know before I do this or do I just pull the pan, swap the part, and roll??

The switch pointed towards the rear of the trans is the 3rd gear switch. The one pointed down is the 4th gear switch. Just drop the pan, unscrew the old switch, put the new one in, button it back up, put fluid in, and your ready to rock and roll. :)
 
Its the rear switch on the valvebody. Good time to change fluid & filter while pans off. Be certain to get the old filter seal out. A little trans fluid on the new filter seal and pop it in good and solid so theres no air sucking going on and good to go.
