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.

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.
