4D0317027 Volkswagen SWITCH

This switch essentially tells the car’s computer what gear you’ve selected. It's a little electrical signal sender, monitoring the position of your gear selector. It confirms to the system whether you’re in Park, Reverse, Neutral, Drive, or whatever gear you've chosen. It handles things like enabling the starter when you’re in Park or Neutral, and letting the computer know when to shift automatically if you have an automatic transmission. It also controls the transmission control module. It's a pretty critical part of the drivetrain. Think of it like a messenger between you selecting a gear and the car actually doing it. Without this switch reporting accurately, the car won't know what you want, and things won’t work smoothly—or at all. It's directly connected to the transmission, and it’s constantly sending information. A failing switch can cause all sorts of problems. You might have trouble getting the car into gear, the transmission might shift erratically or not at all, or the car might not even start. Sometimes, the dashboard lights won’t show the correct gear selection. It’s one of those parts that, when it's good, you don't even think about it. But when it goes bad, you’ll notice if the car is acting strangely, especially with the transmission. If you're seeing warning lights relating to the transmission, or having trouble shifting, it's a good place to start looking. We can definitely get you the right switch for your vehicle; Fixparts Online has a pretty good selection, and we can check stock for you right away. Satisfaction guaranteed: Switch (MPN 4D0317027) comes with a 12-month warranty!
