Automatic is at the shifter, pull the top of the console and you can sort of get to it. Manual is on the transmission side cover. Wire comes through the firewall to it I think.

According to your profile, the switch itself is mounted on the side of the tranny. It has a two wires coming off of it and goes toward the engine compartment up the firewall. About halfway up the firewall there will be an L shaped connector. This goes inside the car. The connect from the tranny should be connected at this point.

That would certainly make the wires harder to find. Glad you found it and let us know.
