OBD code P1706

The dreaded yellow light just came on on the way home :(

From a brief Google I've read P1706 is related to the neutral position switch.

My reverse light packed up a few weeks ago too, coming on intermittently if I wiggle the gear stick in reverse, but now doesn't work at all.

Based on my understanding that the reverse switch doubles as a neutral switch, it seems a fair bet that replacing the switch is all I need to do.... right?

And on that basis, is it as easy as unscrewing it, sticking my finger in the hole to stop the oil emptying, and screwing a new switch in place?
