Everyone of course is entitled to their opinion, but I'll side with Art Benstein's approach of never disabling a security feature. If it was hundreds of dollars involved, I'd understand the disabling approach somewhat, but if the problem is only the microswitch, then once you're in there, a $20 part will put it back into normal operation.

Len still hasn't indicated exactly what his issue is. What were your symptoms before you did the bypass? Did you remove the solenoid completely?

Although you may have no regrets to this point, I guess it's the "what if" factor. Sure, the odds are low, but it's possible that some day, someone may accidently put the shifter into neutral on a hill, with unpredictable consequences. I haven't used air bags yet either, but it's nice to know they're there, in case, some day.
