Thanks - must be obvious that I never had a 3 spd Vair.

The 3 speed back up light switch didn't mount in the transmission, it 
mounted on the transmission shift tube.  A totally different animal than the 
4 speed transmission switches that mount in the bottom of the transmission. 
I have never broke one off, but I have seen a lot of them damaged as a 
result of not removing it before the engine / trans axle assembly was 
removed from the car.  Usually the wires get torn out of the switch.  Paul

  I could swear that I saw a BU switch on eBay a couple of weeks back and
  indicated as being for a 3 spd FC.  Maybe I just had one to many glasses 
of
  Shiraz that evening?  Maybe the seller had it wrong?
