Sounds like you probably bought the same one. The one I have has an extra wire (solid red if I remember right) that goes to the same connection on the switch as another wire. Otherwise all the wire colors matched up. You can pop the pins out of the old connector with a jeweler's screwdriver, just need to press in a metal tab and then they will back out.
Mine is going to be easy... Whole column is out of the car so I can do it all on my bench. Just make sure when you pull the old wires up you also pull up a string or something to pull the new wires down.
If there is any play in the wheel, with the switch out it would be a good idea to replace the upper bearing and sleeve, MACS has both. I'm also replacing my shift collar as I'm tired of it being sloppy and struggling to get the car into park and getting it to stay in park.
Someone at some point tried to shore it up with some epoxy, but it ain't doing much anymore. That spring pin was still in there good though!
