NEW Clutch Sensor Switch installation

I need an instructional video or photograph, that will help me to access the Clutch switch; The one right above the steering column, without having to spend a lot of money in labor to get it done.

That switch went out on my car too. I took one look at where it was located, and immediately made an appointment at the dealer. I could see no easy way to get to it. It looked to me like I would have to drop the steering column to get to it. When I got the bill, it had an hour or two of labor on it, but I didn't ask how they did it. Sorry, I'm not much help here.

Update: the p0833 codes that I was getting went away without replacing the Clutch position sensor. It seems it was the bad A/C compressor after all. When I stuck my hand way up there behind the control module I barely tapped the Switch, which could have done something too. I am relieved I didn't have to send it in to my mechanic to remove the steering column. If you have a bad A/C circuit, or the compressor is failing, it may cause p0833 to come up. Or just try putting your hand up there and adjusting the switch slightly, as it is a stagnant part, and once and a while it needs a tap or two.
