WTB: transmission position switch VE or VG same thing
I'm looking for a manual transmission position switch. The Nissan catalogs refer to this as the "neutral safety switch" but I've also seen this same switch referred to online as the "backup switch". The FSM just refers to it as the "position switch". Here's what I'm talking about ("position switch" as described in my FSM):
This switch is the same on both VE and VG manual transmissions. So any VG guys are eligible here too.

I didn't mention it in the original post but the reason I'm looking for used ones is because I tried to order from Nissan and my order was cancelled and money refunded because the part is discontinued and no longer available from Nissan.
So after quite a bit of digging online I've managed to find an aftermarket source for these. They're cheap too! For anybody stumbling upon this in the future - if the below links are no longer good - the OEM part number is 3200517E01 (sometimes hyphenated as 32005-17E01). The "model number" (part number?) for the aftermarket units below = a13040300ux0522.

I ordered from the Uxcell link. Will report back when the part comes in.

And I forgot to update this that my Chinese aftermarket one came in. Perfect fit in all regards and seems high quality.
BUT - it does not come with a new o-ring unfortunately. And actually the o-ring is the most important part of this in terms of leak proofing. You can't buy just the o-ring by itself from Nissan. So anybody buying this aftermarket one just be advised it won't come with the o-ring. If I had looked closer at the product image from the link posted above it clearly shows no o-ring so I should have known. Here it is:
