Default Z302 controls and neutral safety switch questions

Listmates, I have a z302 with the dual control setup( throttle and transmission) which has become sloppy and at times very difficult to engage so that you can start it. It even seems like it is in different spots when it engages. At this point , i think it is likely the switch that is contained within the controls. I realize that i can simply bypass this switch but i want to do it right. I guess its possible that the controls themselves have become worn etc. In any event i am looking for the switch part number and the part number or model number of the controls( i think may be kiekhaefer controls but not sure) and any advice any of you may have for changing this switch or replacing these controls. Is there an upgrade? They work great other than hitting/engaging the neutral switch to start. I would appreciate any advice any of you have. Have a great day.

    I looked through the materials and no manual for this shifter is posted. Best bet is to google the name/model number if you have it and see if anyone else has a parts breakdown. Sorry I couldn't help more.

    You may also want to post this on the facebook mariah owners groups to get more visibility since not many people visit this site these days.
