Same as 240Z 5 speed switch and available from Nissan. I replaced one in a 280ZX last year, same switch.

Don’t know if any members sell them here, but Dean has the correct ones for under $50.
Take your chance eBay one’s run about half that.

About $30 or so.

Based on my personal experience, you might find you have to use a proper spacer / shim / washer, no matter which type, 4-speed, 5-speed, servo, or Warner,....for your switch to work correctly....if the switch is confirmed to work at all, by any means or method, to test it''s continuity, both in the "off" and "on position, and the threads are matched, metric or SAE / size, for the switch to install into tranny case correctly, and the electrical leads are electrically functionally in a normal way, it really is just a simple matter of finding the right thickness of space material, so that the "plunger" / moveable portion of the reverse light switch, that actuates it's electrical connection, by contact with the internal transmission mechanism makes the proper "on / off" function.
Good Luck,...YMMV

I've put this switch on a roadster transmission and ZX, no spacer and works perfect.

I have a couple of the 5 Speed reverse switches, new, $42 each shipped if you need one.

Curtis, I have a new 32005-K102A that screws into my new 5 speed. The threads are straight but I expected a sealing ring but none came with the switch nor shown on the parts diagrams. How did you seal it?

Peace,
