Default Need help finding part numbers

I need to replace my oil temp sensor on my 02 z06. The DIC always reads "LOW" for oil temp and I'm guessing the sensor is bad.

Also, my reverse lights never work, which I have learned is probably from a blown switch in the transmission.

Can anyone help me find these parts?

Thanks

It does not sound like you have done any troubleshooting.....would it not make more sense to be sure before ordering parts?

As far as I can tell these are common problems with easy and fairly cheap fixes. I haven't done much oil temp troubleshooting, but the part is around $25 I've heard so I'm not worried about that.

I've checked all the fuses in the car and all are fine, and heard the transmission switch is a common part to fail, which would cause the reverse likes to stop working, even though they light up when I unlock the car with my keyfob.

The oil temp sensor is part # 12608814

The Park/Neutral Position switch is part # 24229422

Before replacing the PNP switch, have someone watch your reverese lights as you VERY slowly move the shift lever from Park to Reverse to Neutral. If the reverse lights flash on during the movement your cable needs adjusting, the switch is fine.
