Aha, the wheel nuts! :) I was confused by the missing "s" in the plural. So I thought it might be a single central nut which tightens the wheel bearing or something. (Which might not exist on these cars, I have never removed a brake drum.) Thanks again!

Hm, what is a lug nut? (Non-english speaker here :)

1 way? Of course :)

I recently refitted a new one. Quite tricky, as the SPS is fragile and the fit is very tight. And to get the ignition key out from the car and lock it, I had to shift the lever to P - and guess what, you will not get the lever out of P unless the SPS is connected and in P as well. So then I had...

So, since this is the first major problem in 10 years from new, I ended up with a new unit. They are ridiculously expensive, though. A unit from a web shop in Japan is 130 USD, which would be app. 210 USD when arriving here. The local Mitsubishi dealer charged the equivalent of 320 USD, and the...

Thanks. As far as I have seen, early vehicles had two physical units connected by a rod, later ones one single unit with double internals.

It's a 2015 - actually a Peugeot iOn (but made by Mitsubishi). It has a single unit, not the twin setup from the early models. But the input to the ECU is possibly identical, thanks. Yes, welding / glue is possible. But there are a lot of these vehicles over her (Norway), so I guess the dealer...

Short update: Managed to remove and open the switch. There is a crack on the internal plastic lever. I was first worried it happened during removal, but seems now more like a fatigue crack. Perhaps very cold winter weather makes the plastic brittle. It explains the slightly "out of position" and...

Thanks, I'll go into zen mode and have a go tomorrow. : )

Thanks, but still on the car! :) Nut and bracket lever off, two 10 mm bolts off, but difficult to remove the switch from the car. It is stuck to the shaft which goes into the gearbox, and I am scared to apply to much force.

Hm, difficult to jiggle the switch off the bolt. The bolt slides outwards a little - no chance it will slide completely out of the transmission if I pry carefully? (Or perhaps sneak in some shims behind the switch and hit the bolt gently inwards to loosen them apart.)

Yes, thanks. And also, the bolt may have a firm stop inside the transmission, towards the "drive" position. But better safe than sorry. :)

The steering hole on the switch is in the plastic housing, but I will try gently. Otherwise, I will anchor the lever arm to a nearby bolt or something. I first believed the centre bolt was part of the switch (hence easier to remove the cable), but the bolt obviously goes to the mechanical...

Nice post! How did you get the nut off - I presume you need to clamp the lever, to prevent the internals of the switch from getting all the force/torque?
