By the way, have you worked out yet how that side is driven? If the shifter can only go as far as D or S does the gearbox move the F125 drive shaft when changing gears automatically and/or when you use manual override (lever on earlier version without S and/or tiptronic)?
Or is it just that on non-S models that's an input (gears 3 and 2) to the TCU that doesn't exist on S models?
Given there's no "1" position I'd guess that the TCU is informed by other means what the gearbox is up to and the F125 switch is purely an input mechanism, but why in that case is it mounted on the gearbox? It must be both an electronic input to the TCU and linked to a mechanical one to the gearbox (PND?), or is it just that directly mounting removes the inaccuracies of the cable linkage?
