on the 6 box, you will need someone to stand on the clutch pedal or take the arm off to get to it. bit of a pig to do. chunky sockets wont fit in the recess.

that's a pic of a TU-BE4 box.

there's two types of switch too, depends on age of car/engine loom+gearbox, rp 8420 is the crossover, and they're dirt cheap.

i did it without removing the arm, i cant remember how but i can remember having to pick the tool i used very carefully to be able to get at it, once its cracked off though its a fingers job.

im not sure what i used mate, i can remember struggling to get in with a socket, i MAY of used a ring spanner, one where the ring bit is stepped/angled away from the shank of the spanner.
i really cant remember but can remember searching the toolbox to find somthing that would work
