Where is the neutral position switch of the Baojun 510?

The gear position of the Baojun 510 is located on the right-hand side of the driver and is a rotary controller. Rotate the red dot on the knob to the "N" position to engage the neutral gear. R gear: Rotate the gear to the "R" position for reverse gear, used when the vehicle is reversing. N gear: Rotate the gear to the "N" position for neutral gear, used when the vehicle needs to be parked for a short time or when towing is required due to a malfunction. M gear: Rotate the gear to the "M" position for manual mode, where manual upshifting and downshifting are required. D gear: Rotate the gear to the "D" position for automatic forward gear, used during normal driving.

Last time my Baojun 510 had difficulty starting, I specifically researched the neutral switch location. This component is located on the side of the transmission housing and can be directly seen from underneath the chassis, approximately near where the gearshift lever connects to the transmission. Its main function is to let the ECU know the vehicle is in neutral. If this switch fails, it may cause starting issues or unstable idling. When I attempted to replace it myself, I found the car needed to be lifted and the working space was quite cramped. Eventually, I took it to a repair shop for professional service, and I recommend regular car owners not attempt this themselves. Also, note that automatic transmission models are different—their gear position sensor isn't located in this spot.

I've been driving the Baojun 510 for over three years now, and the neutral switch failed once before. That component is actually located in the middle section of the transmission, to be precise, it's mounted on the transmission housing. The mechanic told me that if the car exhibits symptoms like erratic tachometer readings when in neutral, or requires repeatedly depressing the clutch to start, there's an 80% chance it's the culprit. Replacing it isn't a major job, but requires removing the underbody shield, located behind the right front wheel. Last time I had it replaced, it cost me 150 yuan in labor fees, and I took the opportunity to have the transmission fluid checked. Now during every maintenance service, I remind the technician to inspect the condition of this switch, as it directly relates to driving safety.

The neutral switch of the Baojun 510 is located on the transmission housing, specifically at the position where the gearshift mechanism connects to the transmission. This sensor is responsible for detecting the gear position, and if it fails, it can cause difficulty in starting the vehicle. Replacement requires lifting the car and removing the underbody protection panel. It is recommended to have this handled by a professional repair shop.

As an experienced driver, I've noticed that the neutral safety switch positions are quite similar across all manual transmission vehicles. On the Baojun 510, it's mounted on the side of the transmission housing, connected to the gear shift cable location. Last time my car wouldn't start, diagnostics showed it was due to oxidized contacts in this switch. The structure is actually quite simple: a copper strip contact switch that's mechanically triggered by the gear lever. When replacing it, you don't need to touch the transmission fluid, but do pay attention to whether the sealing ring has aged. This component is particularly prone to failure in humid climates, so I recommend checking it every 2 years. Remember to choose genuine OEM parts - aftermarket parts often have poor contact issues.
