6MT backup switch source?

My backup switch is leaking, and it appears Mazda has discontinued the part (Y611-17-640). Does anyone know if there is a alternate part number that can be used? Something from a Miata? Or maybe a generic part? I'll be bummed if I just have to deal with this leak.

I’m only showing them being on backorder from Japan, not discontinued.

and here’s the most updated part #: Y611-17-640A

Mazmart is showing it in stock

another thing you need to be aware of is that Adkins Rotary is well known for presenting parts as being OEM, but then shipping you something that’s not.

Tried them already. They cancelled becuase of the backorder.

I just ordered from them. Crossing my fingers it goes through. Thanks for the tip! And good to know about Atkins for the future.
