I've searched multiple times on google and looked at a few diagrams, but I can't find this piece anywhere. Does anyone know what it is called? I was hooking up the electrical over the weekend and discovered that the prongs were bent and the yellow body is cracked, so I wanted to see if I can get a replacement before taking it apart to see if I could mend it.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Can’t tell you what it is called but you could check with American Auto Wire to see if they offer it.

It's called the neutral safety switch. They are readily available at any auto parts store, Rockauto, or repro suppliers.

So when you replace this switch, it should be "pinned" in the neutral position. Install it with the car in neutral. Otherwise, starting could be difficult. If it's not "pinned" when you take it out of the box, there should be a small hole in the switch, this is for aligning the switch in neutral. Find something to pin it, then install it. Remove what ever you used to pin it. Connect an ohm meter and check for continuity in Park and Neutral. If its good, then connect the plugs. Adjusting the switch can be achieved by sliding the switch to the left or right to get continuity.
You'll also have the back up light switch there also.
Good luck.
