you need to make sure the two "legs" of the actuator on the shift lever are in the switch, then put it in neutral, loosen the screw on the actuator, and adjust it so that the holes line up, then tighten the screw. A drill bit of the proper size works well to get them aligned.
Usually not a problem, but once in a while you get a switch that's far enough off to prevent it from working with the old setting. also make sure it's plugged in properly -- the lock ring has to be completely released or the plug isn't seated. Also, so the plastic bushings in the levers need to be replaced? A sloppy shift rod from worn or missing bushings may not be moving the switch correctly.
