This repair almost seems inevitable.

I would agree on this. It's gotta be pretty darn easy to do with 0 corrosion yet. Just need to mark it (it slides to adjust - the one actual bolt has a slotted hole in the sensor where it goes through) so that you get it back on at the same adjustment it came off with. If not, a little trial and error works too. My first shot was placing it in the middle of the adjustment range and trying it. Started in P. Started in N. Shifted fine. Done deal.
Worst case, you keep adjusting it little by little until it works right.
And BTW, I anti seized the crap out of my new one, but hadn't though of adding silicone grease. Thanks for that. This could have been a 30 minute job.
Although at 140k, it's unlikely I'll have to do this one again. It's one of the top 3 longest periods that I have ever kept a vehicle (4 years almost now), and I love it, but I'll probably end up with a GX460 in the next year or 2, provided life and compensation return to normal.
