So far 5088 code is gone and the White Witch isn't getting burned at the stake (yet) by the wife....

Where'd you source this switch from? It looks like I'm in the same position here in Kuwait.

You guessed correctly, but 5' tall women who can climb on a countertop are a shitload scarier....

Countertop jumpers! Try sleeping with a third degree black belt that placed second internationally who twitches at night.

My good friend got "karate chopped" by his now wife when she woke from alarm clock and swung her arm to snooze. Don't be between wife and snooze button!

I caught a knee - just once - in the "gearcase". That's all it took.

I took apart on in the junkyard as here they screw you into the ground on parts. i.e. transmission solenoids are only sold with a new valve body @1300 USD

Not sure about other readers but my Foxwell NT-510 shows L1-L4 in description meaning the problem is in the mechatronic gearshift lever, but if no L1-L4 showing it's the magnetic switch in the transmission valve body.

Uhmm, no way I am scared enough being married to a chef that would probably cut up the ginsu chef at Benihana's just to make a point

Maybe I have the sequence of events wrong on your 5088 error code, but I thought you replaced the gearshift to no avail, then did this switch as a final attempt, which fixed the issue. Do you still think the gearshift was a problem for you?

Yes my gearshift was wonky and the 2nd one had a bad interlock cable, but after fixing that problem I found my error switch to 5088 only making me change the magnetic switch.

I should have written that better (sorry) but I still think that the mechatronic gearshift should be checked out especially since I can't say which other readers will give the differing details.

Good advice, I'm sure. I recently discovered there's a line of Fords that used the same setup for the gear detection, so perhaps I'll be able to source this switch from a cheaper, more mass produced vehicle.

I got my "wire frame" from a Ford 6R60 for 129 bucks. Installed last weekend, reset the codes, and I've been driving without issue since. The code has not reappeared and my symptoms of a trans failsafe after 20 minutes are gone.
